Abstract:
Left bundle branch area pacing has been a breakthrough in pacing therapy and is being increasingly adopted. It delivers a more physiological form of pacing compared with right ventricular and biventricular pacing and also avoids the risk of perforation of the ventricular free wall. However, the therapy comes at the price of new complications related to the transseptal route for placing the lead. This article provides an update on these complications and discusses how to avoid and manage these adverse events.
