Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing: Implant Technique, Definitions, Outcomes, and Complications.

Large observational studies have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of LBBAP in different scenarios. LBBAP has been associated with excellent pacing electrical parameters (pacing threshold and R wave sensing) and low complication rates including lead revision < 1%. In patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) indication, LBBAP has shown significant improvement of functional class and left ventricular ejection fraction during short-term follow-up. LBBAP is a relatively new CSP modality showing excellent results for patients with conventional bradycardia pacing indications and promising expectations about its potential role for CRT.
