We performed cardiac resynchronization therapy by means of conduction system pacing in a heart transplant patient suffering from heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation with conduction disturbance (bifascicular block and QRS >160 ms). ECG monitoring showed paroxysmal atrioventricular block. Biventricular pacing was not feasible due to the absence of a suitable coronary sinus branch for pacing. His bundle pacing was performed, and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted due to severe left ventricular dysfunction. Cardiac allograft vasculopathy was excluded. During follow-up, the patient's left ventricular function improved, and symptoms alleviated with a high percentage of ventricular stimulation.
