Obtaining His Bundle Recording From the Subclavian Vein in Patients Undergoing Permanent Pacemaker Implantation
Obtaining His Bundle Recording From the Subclavian Vein in Patients Undergoing Permanent Pacemaker Implantation
His bundle pacing has been proposed as a superior alternative to standard right ventricular pacing. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether obtaining a His Bundle recording from the subclavian vein using a stylet driven pacemaker lead and commercially available sheath can be done in a quick and reliable manner. This would support the use of stylet driven leads for His bundle pacing.
The purpose of this prospective observational study is to investigate whether obtaining a His Bundle recording from the subclavian vein using a stylet driven pacemaker lead and commercially available sheath can be done in a quick and reliable manner. Included in the study are patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation at Good Samaritan and Bethesda North Hospitals. The main outcome is successful recording of a His bundle potential. Secondary outcomes are the time necessary to record the His bundle and the measurement of the pacing threshold.
Inclusion Criteria:
