Atrial Leadless Pacemaker Embolization to the Left Common Iliac Vein With Successful Retrieval: A Case Report. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
A rare extracardiac complication in which a dislodged atrial leadless pacemaker migrated retrogradely to the left common iliac vein. This case highlights the role of venous anatomy in implantation difficulty and demonstrates successful device retrieval using a preventive strategy.

Jugular Journeys: A Novel Approach for AVEIR Leadless Pacemaker Implantation. [PDF]

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
ABSTRACT Background The jugular approach for Micra leadless pacemaker (LP) implantation offers potential advantages over the femoral route, however data on safety and feasibility for the relatively larger AVEIR LP implantation through the jugular vein is limited.

A Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker

New England Journal of Medicine, 2023
Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted percutaneously, one in the right atrium and one in the right ventricle, would make leadless pacemaker therapy a treatment option for a wider range of ...

Transjugular Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in an Adolescent With Central Hypoventilation Syndrome: A Case Report. [PDF]

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacing in pediatric patients is complicated by small body size, vascular access limitations, and the need for durable long‐term management. Leadless pacemakers offer an emerging alternative that minimizes infection and lead‐related complications, yet vascular access remains a key challenge in young patients.

Evolution of leadless pacemaker technology. [PDF]

Eur Heart J Suppl
Abstract Cardiac pacemakers have revolutionized the management of heart rhythm disorders since their introduction in the mid-20th century. They have played a crucial role in the management of several clinical conditions, from symptomatic bradyarrhythmia to electrical and/or mechanical dyssynchrony.

Leadless pacemaker and cremation [PDF]

Heart Asia, 2015
Implantable cardiac pacemakers save lives and improve quality of life. Each year about a million pacemakers are implanted worldwide, a quarter of them in the USA. Over the past 50 years several innovations have taken place in the miniaturisation of the pacemaker including circuitry, battery and lead systems.

Leadless Pacemaker – A Savior in Crisis

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2023
The current case describes the successful implantation of a leadless pacemaker in an elderly patient with multiple complexities. The patient had an in situ cardiac pacemaker with a suspected displaced right ventricular lead and was stabilized using temporary pacemaker implantation.

Determinants of the difficulty of leadless pacemaker implantation [PDF]

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2020
AbstractBackgroundThe Micra Transcatheter Pacing System is implanted directly in the right ventricle (RV) through the femoral vein using a steerable transcatheter delivery system. The present study was done to identify determinants of difficult leadless pacemaker implant procedures including operator, patient, and RV anatomical characteristics ...

MICRA Leadless Pacemaker on Autopsy

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2016
Two new leadless pacing systems were recently developed to avoid pocket- and lead-related complications [(1,2)][1]. There is very limited information regarding long-term healing-in of leadless pacemakers [(3)][2]. A 68-year-old man with a history of meningitis, type 2 diabetes mellitus,
