Summary

PROTECT-SYNC study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 7 medical centers across Republic of Korea will enroll 450 patients during 2 years of enrollment period, and followed for 2 years of follow-up period. The purpose of this study to compare the clinical outcomes of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP) compared to Right Ventricular Pacing (RVP) in bradyarrhythmia patients who require high burden of ventricular pacing (\>40%).

Conditions

  • Bradyarrhythmia
  • Atrioventricular Block
  • Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Left bundle branch area pacing

LBBAP success is defined if ventricular lead is successfully placed at interventricular septum and RBB configuration observed during unipolar tip pacing. LBB capture is defined if fulfilling criterion 1 and at least one in criteria 2. 1. RBBB configuration observed during unipolar tip pacing 2. One of the following should be met: 1. Abrupt shortening of Stim-LVAT (stimulus to peak of the R wave in V6 \[LV activation time\]) of \>10ms during increasing output 2. Short and constant stim-LVAT and the shortest stim-LVAT \<75ms in non-LBBB and \<85ms in LBBB 3. Programmed stimulation by pacing lead changes QRS morphology from nonselective LBB to LV septal capture 4. LBB potential (LBB-V interval of 15 to 35ms) 5. Transition from nonselective LBB capture to selective LBB capture at near threshold outputs If criterion 1 is fulfilled but none in criteria 2 is met, the procedure is considered to be deep septal pacing (DSP).

PROCEDURE

Right ventricular pacing

Right ventricular pacing is the traditional pacing modality for ventricular pacing. Implantation of a RV pacing lead (apex or septum of right ventricle) will be attempted using the standard-of-care technique first
