Article Synopsis
- Conduction system pacing (CSP) combined with atrioventricular junction ablation (AVJA) can effectively treat patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), and a new superior approach (SA) using axillary or subclavian access has been introduced.
- A study involving 119 patients revealed that the SA significantly reduced nurse workload (NWL) in both the electrophysiology lab and ward compared to the traditional femoral access (FA).
- Patients undergoing SA reported higher satisfaction levels regarding their hospital experience and overall evaluation than those with FA, highlighting SA as a favorable alternative for these procedures.
