Key result
Deep septal lead implantation for left bundle branch pacing caused a transient acute left bundle branch injury that recovered by the following day while maintaining low pacing thresholds.
Why the study?
Left bundle branch pacing is a novel conduction system pacing technique, and its procedural complications remain to be fully explored.

Deep septal lead implantation for left bundle branch pacing can cause acute, transient left bundle branch injury that may resolve quickly without compromising pacing parameters.
Transient LBB injury may occur during deep septal LBBP; leaves open incidence, predictors, and monitoring needs in larger series.
Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a novel technique that has emerged as an alternative method for conduction system pacing. As a new modality, this procedure may carry complications that are yet to be explored. This report describes a case of injury to the left bundle branch during deep septal lead implantation for LBBP.

Markson et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Cardiac syncope secondary to sinus node dysfunction (n=1). Deep septal lead implantation for left bundle branch pacing was evaluated on Acute left bundle branch injury. Deep septal lead implantation for left bundle branch pacing caused a transient acute left bundle branch injury that recovered by the following day while maintaining low pacing thresholds.
