Outcomes of stylet-driven leads compared to lumenless leads for left bundle branch are pacing: systematic review and meta-analysis
LBBAP using SDL is feasible and demonstrates comparable success rates with a shorter procedure duration. A higher incidence of lead-related complications was observed in the SDL group; however, due to potential confounding factors and the absence of randomized head-to-head comparisons, no definitive conclusions can be drawn regarding causality. Further prospective studies are warranted to clarify this association.
