Provides practical tips and techniques for successful His bundle pacing implantation, programming, and follow-up.
May support cautious His bundle pacing adoption; leaves open need for randomized outcome validation.
His bundle (HB) pacing is an established modality for achieving physiological pacing with a low risk of long-term lead-related complications. The development of specially designed lead and delivery tools has improved the feasibility and safety of HB pacing (HBP). Knowledge of the anatomy of HB region and the variations is essential for successful implantation. Newer delivery systems have further improved procedural outcomes. Challenging implant cases can be successfully performed by reshaping the current sheaths, using "sheath in sheath" technique or "two-lead implantation technique." Special attention to the lead parameters at implant, programming, and follow-up is necessary for successful long-term outcomes with HBP. Widespread use of HBP by electrophysiologists and further advances in dedicated delivery systems and leads are essential to further improve the effectiveness of the implantation.
