We have a similar practice like some of the other institutions. We perform a 12-Lead with newly implanted LBB leads and if any Bachman Bundle leads are placed. We perform underlying and usually perform LBB only pacing if applicable especially if the physician is promoting intrinsic rhythm. Our wound checks are performed at the same time. These visits are normally done within 7-10 days.

Subject: RE: Device Clinic Follow-up post new LBBB lead
Hello,
We do a 14-day post implant follow up with device nurses (site and device check). We do perform 12-lead with intrinsic rhythm (if applicable) then with RV bipolar and unipolar pacing to assess our QRS.
Thanks you!

Could we please share our routine follow-up practices for patients with recently implanted LBBB leads? For example at the wound check/first device check are 12 lead EKGs performed? Thank you, paul :)
