Recently, a novel specialized delivery sheath that allows for left bundle branch area
pacing (LBBAP) using standard stylet-driven leads (SDLs) with an extendable helix
design has been introduced. However, LBBAP using SDLs was found to result in more
frequent lead deformation and fracture than LBBAP using lumenless leads, most of which
occurred during lead repositioning.

Given this safety concern, we investigated the relationship between implantation
technique and lead deformation during the LBBAP procedure using the isolated porcine
heart.Keywords
