Key result
LBBAP procedural success requires thorough anatomical and physiological knowledge to identify optimal pacing sites.
Why the study?
Successful implementation of left bundle branch area pacing requires a thorough understanding of anatomical landmarks, physiology, and histology, which significantly influence procedural success and long-term effectiveness.
A thorough understanding of anatomical landmarks and histology is essential for successful implementation and minimizing complications of left bundle branch area pacing.
Emphasizes anatomical precision to minimize LBBAP complications; leaves open prospective validation of strategies.
Over the last decade, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has been established as a novel modality in conduction system pacing. However, successful implementation of LBBAP necessitates a thorough understanding of anatomical landmarks, physiology, and histology to accurately identify the optimal pacing site. Various anatomical factors can significantly influence both the procedural success and long-term effectiveness of LBBAP. This review aims to provide a practical overview of the most relevant anatomical considerations and potential complications associated with LBBAP, offering valuable insights for electrophysiologists to enhance procedural success and minimize complications.
