Why the study?
Does Bachmann bundle pacing lead implantation demonstrate transition patterns to confirm capture in patients requiring an atrial lead?
Population
136 serial patients undergoing device implantation requiring an atrial lead
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Long-term follow-up (exact duration not specified)
Key result
Bachmann's bundle lead implantation was successful in 95% of patients, with transitions observed in 91% of successful implants in sinus rhythm to assist in confirming capture.

Does Bachmann bundle pacing lead implantation demonstrate transition patterns to confirm capture in patients requiring an atrial lead?
Bachmann bundle pacing is highly feasible, and observing transition patterns during decremental output can effectively confirm selective capture, which is associated with significant reductions in p-wave duration.
Erickson et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Device implantation requiring an atrial lead (n=136). Bachmann bundle lead implantation was evaluated on Successful lead implantation. Bachmann's bundle lead implantation was successful in 95% of patients, with transitions observed in 91% of successful implants in sinus rhythm to assist in confirming capture.
