Right-sided approach to left bundle branch area pacing combined with atrioventricular node ablation in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava and left bundle branch block: a case report

Abstract Background Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is an alternative to right ventricular (RV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing in patients scheduled for pace and ablate treatment strategy.However, current delivery sheaths are designed for left-sided implantation, making the right-sided LBBAP lead implantation challenging.Case presentation We
