request an appointmentWhat is Left Bundle Branch Pacing (Deep Septal Pacing)?
Left Bundle Branch Pacing (LBBP) is an innovative pacemaker technique that stimulates the left bundle branch of the heart’s conduction system. Unlike traditional pacing, LBBP delivers electrical impulses in a way that mimics the heart’s natural rhythm, improving heart function and reducing risks associated with conventional right ventricular pacing.
FAQs About Left Bundle Branch Pacing
- Who benefits from LBBP?
LBBP is ideal for patients with heart block, heart failure, or conditions requiring pacing that preserves natural heart function. - How is LBBP different from traditional pacing?
Traditional pacing stimulates the right ventricle, which can disrupt the heart’s natural rhythm. LBBP directly activates the left bundle branch, ensuring more physiologic pacing. - Is LBBP safe?
Yes, LBBP is a safe and effective procedure when performed by experienced specialists like Dr. Weitz. - How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. - What is recovery like?
Recovery is generally quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
The Left Bundle Branch Pacing Procedure
- Pre-Procedure Evaluation:
Dr. Weitz performs a thorough evaluation, including imaging and electrocardiograms (ECGs), to determine if LBBP is the best option for your condition. - The Procedure:
- A lead is implanted in the left bundle branch area of the heart’s septum using advanced imaging guidance.
- The lead is connected to a pacemaker, which delivers precise electrical impulses to maintain a natural rhythm.
- Post-Procedure Care:
Patients are monitored after the procedure and typically discharged the same day. Follow-up visits ensure the pacemaker is functioning optimally.
Who is a Candidate for Left Bundle Branch Pacing?
You may benefit from LBBP if you:
- Require pacemaker therapy due to heart block, heart failure, or slow heart rhythms.
- Want a physiologic pacing option that preserves natural heart function.
- Are in good overall health and can undergo a minimally invasive procedure.
Dr. Weitz will evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
