Key result
Transthoracic echocardiography-guided left bundle branch and atrial septum pacing without fluoroscopy is feasible and potentially useful for pacemaker implantation in pregnant women.
Why the study?

TTE-guided fluoroless LBB and atrial septal pacing may be feasible in select patients; case report leaves open safety, efficacy, and reproducibility.
This case study demonstrates the feasibility of pacing the left bundle branch and atrial septum under transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) without fluoroscopic guidance. This technique could be useful to guide pacemaker implantation in some patients, especially pregnant women.
