Trapped Lung and Pneumothorax Ex Vacuo

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.

Leadless Versus Transvenous Dual‐Chamber Pacemakers: Real‐World Evidence From AVEIR DR Coverage With Evidence Development Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 544-553, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background AVEIR DR, an industry‐first dual‐chamber leadless pacemaker (LP), provides continuous atrioventricular synchrony through implant‐to‐implant (i2i) communication between atrial and ventricular LP devices. It is important to evaluate the early real‐world comparative safety of AVEIR DR LP.
