Leadless Pacemakers

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2017
Leadless pacing is an emerging technology with the potential to significantly improve outcomes associated with the need for long-term pacing. Specifically, the major advantage of leadless systems is abolishing the need for transvenous leads and subcutaneous pockets, both of which account for most adverse events associated with traditional pacemakers ...

Systematic review of leadless pacemaker

Acta Cardiologica, 2023
Conventional pacing systems consist of a pacemaker and one or more leads threaded from the device pocket through veins into the heart conducting the pacing therapy to the desired pacing site. Although these devices are effective, approximately one in eight patients treated with these traditional pacing systems experiences a complication attributed to ...

Nanostim—leadless pacemaker

Herzschrittmachertherapie + Elektrophysiologie, 2018
Nanostim™ (St. Jude Medical Inc., Saint Paul, MN, USA; now Abbott Medical Inc. Abbott Park, IL, USA) was the first self-contained intracardiac pacemaker to be implanted in a human patient. A total of 1423 Nanostim devices were implanted worldwide between 2013 and 2016 and three clinical trials were initiated.

Cremation of Leadless Pacemaker

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2017
Cremation of implanted cardiac electronic devices can be associated with explosion from rapid gas formation causing potential hazard to the crematoria staffs and facilities. We present four patients who had undergone cremation with a leadless pacemaker (MicraTM, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) left inside their bodies.

The leadless pacemaker

JAAPA, 2019
ABSTRACT Smaller leadless pacemakers placed in the right ventricle can reduce the risk of lead fracture or dislodgement and subcutaneous pocket complications, which can occur with traditional transvenous cardiac pacemakers. This article describes new leadless pacemakers and their indications.

Leadless Dual-Chamber Pacing: A Novel Communication Method for Wireless Pacemaker Synchronization.

open access: yesJACC Basic To Translational Science, 2018
Objectives The goal of this study was to provide a proof-of-concept for leadless dual-chamber pacing. Background Recently introduced leadless cardiac pacemakers effectively overcome the lead- and pocket-related limitations of conventional pacemakers ...

Leadless pacemaker: Performance and complications

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018
Traditional transvenous cardiac pacemakers have pitfalls due to lead- and device pocket-related complications. Leadless pacemakers were developed and introduced into clinical practice to overcome the shortcomings of traditional transvenous pacemakers. In this review, we provide a description of leadless pacemaker devices, and summarize existing data on

Leadless pacemaker implantation via the internal jugular vein.

open access: yesEuropace
AIMS Leadless pacemaker therapy was introduced to overcome lead- and pocket-related complications in conventional transvenous pacemaker systems. Implantation via the femoral vein, however, may not always be feasible.

A leadless pericardial pacemaker

Heart Rhythm
Cardiac pacemakers have complications related to long pacemaker leads, subcutaneous pockets, and endovascular hardware.We report on the development of a leadless micropacemaker for percutaneous implantation into the pericardial space.Percutaneous implantations of a micropacemaker system were performed in 15 pigs through subxiphoid access to the ...
