Initial Experience of Left Bundle Branch Pacing using the Abbott Agilis
HisPro Catheter with stylet-driven leads
Abstract
Aims Conduction system pacing has gained steady interest over recent
years. While the majority of tools and delivery techniques were
developed for His bundle pacing (HBP), the feasibility and
reproducibility of using these similar tools for left bundle branch
pacing (LBBP) has yet to be determined. We describe our technique for
performing LBBP using the Abbott Agilis HisProTM Steerable Catheter.
Methods and results A series of 22 patients with a mean age of 71.7
years (16 males, 72.7%), underwent LBBP procedure with this catheter
between May and October 2021. Nineteen patients (86%) had successful
LBBP lead implantation. There were no major complications or mortality.
Conclusion The Agilis HisProTM catheter along with the stylet driven
Tendril STS Model 2088TC lead is a safe and feasible delivery system for
LBBP.
