Leadless Cardiac Pacing: New Horizons

Cardiology and Therapy, 2022
Since the introduction of transvenous cardiac pacing leads, pacemaker system design has remained similar for several decades. Progressive miniaturisation of electronic circuitry and batteries has enabled a smaller, single pacing unit comprising the ...

Internal Jugular Vein as an Alternative Access for Pacemaker Implantation: A Mostly Left IJ Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers traditionally rely on femoral venous access, which may be limited in patients with unfavorable IVC anatomy, prior interventions, or situations where preserving femoral access is preferred. Internal jugular (IJ) access offers an alternative route, but real‐world data on IJ implantation of single‐ and dual‐chamber ...

One stage atrioventricular nodal ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation for refractory atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019
Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation and right ventricular (RV) pacing is recommended for refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) and tachycardia‐bradycardia syndrome. Three AF patients (mean age 83, range 79‐89 years) underwent AVN ablation and transvenous

Late Extraction of Micra AV and Implantation of Right Atrial Leadless Pacemaker

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tine‐based leadless pacemakers have been commercially implanted over the last 10 years. Retrieval of older devices is rarely discussed and based on rare case reports only. Methods A retrospective review of an extraction case of a Micra AV leadless pacemaker was performed. Internal Review Board approval was obtained.

Single-chamber pacemakers: with or without leads? Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses

Annals of Medicine
Introduction The evolution in pacemaker technologies has led to improvements in size, weight, functionality, and durability, even as the battery and electrode-based structural configuration has remained essentially the same.Objective To compare the cost ...

The angle of the tines before the pull and hold test predicts engagement of the tines in Micra leadless pacemaker implantation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2023
Background Micra leadless pacemaker is secured to the myocardium by engagement of at least 2/4 tines confirmed with pull and hold test. However, the pull and hold test is sometimes difficult to assess.

Ventricular Pacing Inhibition After Dual‐Chamber Leadless Pacing Associated With a Retained Right Ventricular Lead

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An 88‐year‐old pacemaker‐dependent man with a retained low‐impedance, noise‐producing right ventricular lead underwent implantation of a dual‐chamber leadless pacemaker. On postoperative day 1, he developed recurrent syncope with pauses up to 13 s.

Leadless pacemakers – The path to safer pacing?

Indian Heart Journal, 2019
Endocardial transvenous permanent pacemakers (TVPs) are a mainstay within cardiology and used to treat a range of bradyarrhythmias. However, their use is associated with potential complications both at the time of implantation and longer term.

Ventricular Synchrony in Targeted Right Ventricular Septal Pacing: A Prospective Paired Comparison to Apical Placement

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, the standard pacing approach, often induces ventricular dyssynchrony, potentially impairing cardiac function. This study aims to investigate whether targeted RV septal pacing, guided by functional electrophysiological feedback during implantation, reduces ventricular dyssynchrony ...
