Brief Summary

Left Bundle Branch Pacing (LBBP) has emerged as one of the most commonly used physiological pacing modalities in clinical practice. However, the key determinants of procedural success lie in the accurate intraoperative identification of proper LBB lead positioning and the prevention of cardiac perforation. Our previous research has established a methodology for Lumenless Lead (LLL) implantation under the guidance of continuous pacing monitoring, and this methodology has been further adapted for Stylet-driven Lead (SDL) implantation. The present study is designed as a multicenter, randomized controlled trial, aiming to compare the differences in efficacy and safety between LLL and SDL during LBBP procedures guided by continuous pacing monitoring, with the presence of S-V dissociation serving as the criterion for confirming optimal LBB lead positioning.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The primary efficacy endpoint

    The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as the success rate of intraoperative implantation of the left bundle branch lead with the documentation of S-V dissociation.

    During the LBBP procedure

  • The primary safety endpoint

    The primary safety endpoint is defined as a composite endpoint consisting of the following anticipated procedure-related serious adverse events (SAEs).

    From start of the procedure to the end of follow-up at 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Procedural success rate

    During the procedure.

  • Abnormal parameters detected during follow-up

    From the start of procedure to the end of follow-up at 6 months

  • Assessment of cardiac function during follow-up

    From the start of procedure to the end of follow-up at 6 months

  • Assessment of quality of life.

    From the start of procedure to the end of follow-up at 6 months
