Highlights |
• | CSP is an innovative approach but evidence and guidelines are lacking. |
• | CSP has been widely adopted in France. |
• | Important variations were apparent for implantation techniques and success criteria. |
• | Lack of training and clinical guidelines remain limitations for wider CSP adoption. |
Abstract |
Background |
Conduction system pacing (CSP) is an emerging and promising approach for physiological ventricular pacing. While data from randomized controlled trials are scarce, use of His-bundle pacing (HBP) and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has increased in France.
Aim |
To perform a national snapshot survey for cardiac electrophysiologists to evaluate adoption of CSP in France.
Methods |
An online survey, distributed to every senior cardiac electrophysiologist in France, was conducted in November 2022.
Results |
A total of 120 electrophysiologists completed the survey. Eighty-three (69%) respondents reported experience in undertaking CSP procedures and 27 (23%) were planning to start performing CSP in the coming 2 years. The implantation techniques and criteria used for successful implantation differed significantly among operators. The most frequent indications for HBP and LBBAP were high-degree atrioventricular block with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% (24 and 82%, respectively) or with LVEF ≥ 40% (27 and 74%, respectively), and after failure of a coronary sinus left ventricular lead (27 and 71%, respectively). The limitations respondents most frequently perceived when performing HBP were bad sensing/pacing parameters (45%), increased procedure duration (41%) and risk of lead dislodgement (30%). The most frequently perceived limitations to performing LBBAP were absence of guidelines or consensus (31%), lack of medical training (23%) and increased procedure duration (23%).
Conclusions |
Our national survey-based study supports wide adoption of CSP in France. CSP is currently used as a second-line approach for both antibradycardia and resynchronization indications, with important variations regarding implantation techniques and criteria for measuring success.
