Description
Liangzhen Qu, Xueting Duan, and Han Chen compare two pacing methods in patients who need a pacemaker after a valve procedure, in a 2026 study. After a transcatheter aortic valve replacement, some patients need permanent pacing. One method paces near the heart's left bundle branch; the other, deep septal pacing, sits deeper in the wall between the chambers. The team followed 82 patients, 39 with the first method and 43 with the second, for about two years.
Death and heart failure admission rates were nearly the same in both groups. The bundle branch method, though, predicted bigger gains in patients' rated heart function class, above all when true capture of the branch was confirmed. Both methods improved pumping measures, signal width, and a blood marker to a similar degree.
