Left bundle branch area pacing is associated with rare complications such as lead entrapment that become apparent with increasing procedural volume.
Highlights the rare complication of lead entrapment during left bundle branch area pacing as the technique gains widespread clinical adoption.
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has emerged as a preferred conduction system pacing (CSP) technique since 2017, owing to its relative ease of implantation, favorable intraventricular synchrony, and low complication rates1,2. As with any evolving technique, unintentional complications- particularly rare ones- tend to become apparent only after widespread clinical adoption and increasing procedural volume.
Oliveira et al. (Mon,) conducted a editorial in Lead entrapment during left bundle branch area pacing. Left bundle branch area pacing was evaluated. Left bundle branch area pacing is associated with rare complications such as lead entrapment that become apparent with increasing procedural volume.
