A Feasible Approach for Direct His‐Bundle Pacing Using a New Steerable Catheter to Facilitate Precise Lead Placement

Introduction: Much clinical evidence has shown that right ventricular (RV) apical pacing is detrimental to left ventricular function. Preservation of the use of the His‐Purkinje (H‐P) system may be ideal in heart block that is restricted to the AV node, but may be of no benefit when H‐P disease exists.
