Assessing the Learning Curve in Conduction System Pacing Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Conduction system pacing (CSP) has emerged as an alternative to biventricular pacing (BiVp), but its implantation requires a specific learning curve. Early experience was dominated by His bundle pacing (HBP) with lumenless leads (LLL), whereas the subsequent adoption of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) and the increasing procedural standardization led to a simplification of the technique and greater uniformity in its execution. This study evaluated the learning curve for CSP by analyzing the first consecutive implants of two electrophysiologists (operator 1: OP1 and operator 2: OP2). Methods: The first 55 CSP procedures performed by each operator (n = 110) were retrospectively analyzed. Implantation and fluoroscopy times were assessed in blocks of fiv
