Description

Zachary T. Hollis, Eunice Yang, and Brett D. Atwater compare two ways of pacing Bachmann's bundle, the main bridge carrying signals from the right atrium to the left, within one and the same patient. Their 2026 report covers both a conventional wired lead and a leadless device placed in that bundle area.

Pacing at this site can correct the slow signal travel between the atria that raises left atrial pressure and feeds atrial fibrillation and heart failure. The leadless approach matched the wired one in effectiveness for this patient. Ultrasound imaging from inside the heart, together with the timing of left atrial activation, helped the team confirm that the devices truly sat in the bundle area.
