His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing, together referred to as conduction system pacing, have (re)gained considerable interest over the past years as it has the potential to preserve and/or restore a more physiological ventricular activation when compared with right ventricular pacing and may serve as an alternative for cardiac resynchronization therapy. This review manuscript dives deeper into the implantation techniques and the relevant anatomy of the conduction system for both pacing strategies. Furthermore, the manuscript elaborates on better understanding of conduction system capture with its various capture patterns, its potential complications as well as appropriate follow-up care. Finally, the limitations and its impact on clinical care for both His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing are being discussed.
希氏束起搏和左束支起搏,统称为传导系统起搏,在过去几年中重新引起了人们的极大兴趣,因为与右心室起搏相比,它有可能保留和/或恢复更接近生理状态的心室激动,并且可作为心脏再同步治疗的替代方法。这篇综述文章更深入地探讨了这两种起搏策略的植入技术以及传导系统的相关解剖结构。此外,文章还阐述了对传导系统夺获及其各种夺获模式的更好理解、其潜在并发症以及适当的随访护理。最后,讨论了希氏束起搏和左束支起搏的局限性及其对临床护理的影响。
