    On-treatment comparison between corrective His bundle pacing and biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization: A secondary analysis of His-SYNC
    (Elsevier, 2019) Upadhyay, Gaurav A.; Vijayaraman, Pugazhendi; Nayak, Hemal M.; Verma, Nishant; Dandamudi, Gopi; Sharma, Parikshit S.; Saleem, Moeen; Mandrola, John; Genovese, Davide; Oren, Jess W.; Subzposh, Faiz A.; Aziz, Zaid; Beaser, Andrew; Shatz, Dalise; Besser, Stephanie; Lang, Roberto M.; Trohman, Richard G.; Knight, Bradley P.; Tung, Roderick; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background The His-SYNC pilot trial was the first randomized comparison between His bundle pacing in lieu of a left ventricular lead for cardiac resynchronization therapy (His-CRT) and biventricular pacing (BiV-CRT), but was limited by high rates of crossover. Objective To evaluate the results of the His-SYNC pilot trial utilizing treatment-received (TR) and per-protocol (PP) analyses. Methods The His-SYNC pilot was a multicenter, prospective, single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial comparing His-CRT vs BiV-CRT in patients meeting standard indications for CRT (eg, NYHA II–IV patients with QRS >120 ms). Crossovers were required based on prespecified criteria. The primary endpoints analyzed included improvement in QRS duration, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and freedom from cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization and mortality. Results Among 41 patients enrolled (aged 64 ± 13 years, 38% female, LVEF 28%, QRS 168 ± 18 ms), 21 were randomized to His-CRT and 20 to BiV-CRT. Crossover occurred in 48% of His-CRT and 26% of BiV-CRT. The most common reason for crossover from His-CRT was inability to correct QRS owing to nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (n = 5). Patients treated with His-CRT demonstrated greater QRS narrowing compared to BiV (125 ± 22 ms vs 164 ± 25 ms [TR], P < .001;124 ± 19 ms vs 162 ± 24 ms [PP], P < .001). A trend toward higher echocardiographic response was also observed (80 vs 57% [TR], P = .14; 91% vs 54% [PP], P = .078). No significant differences in CV hospitalization or mortality were observed. Conclusions Patients receiving His-CRT on-treatment demonstrated superior electrical resynchronization and a trend toward higher echocardiographic response than BiV-CRT. Larger prospective studies may be justifiable with refinements in patient selection and implantation techniques to minimize crossovers.

    Permanent conduction system pacing for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: A Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES)/International Society for Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ISACHD) Collaborative Study
    (Elsevier, 2020-06) Moore, Jeremy P.; Gallotti, Roberto; Shannon, Kevin M.; Pilcher, Thomas; Vinocur, Jeffrey M.; Cano, Óscar; Kean, Adam; Mondesert, Blandine; Nürnberg, Jan-Hendrik; Schaller, Robert D.; Sharma, Parikshit S.; Nishimura, Takuro; Tung, Roderick; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is associated with spontaneous atrioventricular block and pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. Conduction system pacing is a potential alternative to conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the outcomes of conduction system pacing for CCTGA. Methods Retrospective data were collected from 10 international centers. Results His bundle (HBP) or left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) was attempted in 15 CCTGA patients (median age 23 years; 87% male). Previous surgery had been performed in 8 and chronic ventricular pacing in 7. Conduction system pacing (11 HBP, 2 LBBP 2; nonselective in 10, selective in 3) was acutely successful in 13 (86%) without complication. In 9 cases, electroanatomic mapping was available and identified the distal His bundle and proximal left bundle branches within the morphologic left ventricle below the pulmonary valve separate from the mitral annulus. Median implant HV interval was 42 ms (interquartile range [IQR] 35–48), R wave 6 mV (IQR 5–18), and threshold 0.5 V (IQR 0.5–1.2) at median 0.5 ms. QRSd was unchanged compared to junctional escape rhythm (124 vs 110 ms; P = .17) and decreased significantly compared to baseline ventricular pacing (112 vs 164 ms; P <.01). At a median of 8 months, all patients were alive without significant change in pacing threshold or lead dysfunction. New York Heart Association functional class improved in 5 patients. Conclusion Permanent conduction system pacing is feasible in CCTGA by either HBP or proximal LBBP. Narrow paced QRS and stable lead thresholds were observed at intermediate follow-up. Unique anatomic characteristics may favor this approach over conventional CRT.

    Permanent His bundle pacing: Recommendations from a Multicenter His Bundle Pacing Collaborative Working Group for standardization of definitions, implant measurements, and follow-up
    (Elsevier, 2017) Vijayaraman, Pugazhendhi; Dandamudi, Gopi; Zanon, Francesco; Sharma, Parikshit S.; Tung, Roderick; Huang, Weijian; Koneru, Jayanthi; Tada, Hiroshi; Ellenbogen, Kenneth A.; Lustgarten, Daniel L.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    His bundle pacing (HBP) prevents ventricular dyssynchrony and its long-term consequences by preserving normal electrical activation of the ventricles. Since the original description of permanent HBP in 2000, the adoption of HBP has increased over the past several years. However, the reporting of procedural and clinical outcomes to date is not uniform. This article is a collaboration between several implanters with significant experience in HBP to establish a uniform set of definitions encompassing the different forms of HBP as well as define a standardized approach to gathering data end points to ensure consistency in reported outcomes.
