Key result
LBBAP from the functional RV successfully treats preoperative AV block in Ebstein anomaly.
Why the study?
Atrioventricular block may occur after tricuspid valve repair in patients with Ebstein's anomaly, but preoperative AVB has rarely been reported.
Describes left bundle branch area pacing from the functional right ventricle in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly and preoperative atrioventricular block.
Ebstein’s anomaly is characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets, resulting in atrialization of the right ventricle. In patients with Ebstein’s anomaly, atrioventricular block (AVB) may occur after tricuspid valve repair; however, preoperative AVB has rarely been reported.

Hasegawa et al. (2026) studied this question. Left bundle branch area pacing from the functional right ventricle can be utilized to treat rarely reported preoperative atrioventricular block in patients with Ebstein's anomaly.
