Specific conduction system pacing is a recent development in efforts to restore normal electrical conduction in the heart by means of artificial pacing.1 It can be achieved by specific His or left bundle branch (LBB) pacing and, possibly, by non-specific high right ventricular (RV) septal pacing. There are several clinical situations in which conduction pacing is clearly indicated.

Abstract Atrial transseptal catheterisation is a fundamental skill of any interventional electrophysiologist. In this review, various scenarios that pose unique challenges to atrial transseptal catheterisation are discussed. These scenarios include post-surgical or congenital malformations of the interatrial septum, presence of interatrial septal closure devices, absent or obstructed inferior vena cava and complex congenital heart disease after palliative surgery.
