Six-month Electrical Performance of the First Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker.

Heart Rhythm
BACKGROUND The first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker (DC-LP) system consists of two separate atrial and ventricular devices that communicate to maintain synchronous atrioventricular pacing and sensing.

Transjugular Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in an Adolescent With Central Hypoventilation Syndrome: A Case Report

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
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.

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 ...

Tricuspid Valve Replacement in a Patient with a Leadless Cardiac Pacemaker: Current Guidelines and Recommendations for Perioperative Management

Case Reports in Anesthesiology, 2021
Leadless cardiac pacemakers were developed to reduce complications associated with conventional transvenous pacemakers. While this technology is still relatively new, devices are increasingly being implanted. The perioperative management of patients with

Jugular Journeys: A Novel Approach for AVEIR Leadless Pacemaker Implantation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
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.

Extraction of a dislocated leadless pacemaker in a patient with infective endocarditis and repeated endocardial and epicardial pacing system infections

Biomedical Papers, 2019
Background: Leadless pacemakers (PMs) were recently introduced to address the complication rate of standard PMs with transvenous leads. Methods and Results: A 34-year old male with a history of intravenous substance abuse and a chronic type C hepatitis ...

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.

Real‐World Treatment of Patients With Sinus Node Dysfunction and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.
