Leadless pacing using the transcatheter pacing system (Micra TPS) in the real world: initial Swiss experience from the Romandie region [PDF]
Leadless pacemakers are implanted in Switzerland since June 2015. Large worldwide registries have shown high implant success, low complication rates, and good electrical parameters up to 12 months' follow-up. However, data are scarce outside the investigational setting. The purpose of this study is to assess the real-world experience regarding clinical

43 Micra transcatheter pacing system implantation and outcomes in a single centre [PDF]
Introduction and Objectives Traditional cardiac pacemakers incorporate transvenous leads. Recently leadless pacemakers have been approved. The Micra™ pacemaker is such a device which is inserted percutaneously via the femoral vein into the right ventricle.

Retrieval of Medtronic Micra Transcatheter Pacing System after tether removal [PDF]
We implanted a Medtronic Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS) using standard technique, but after cutting the tether, a slight resistance was felt when the tether was pulled back. Subsequently, the electrical properties of the system were unacceptable. In order to retrieve the TPS, a …

Leadless cardiac pacing in resource limited settings: A Groote Schuur hospital experience with the Micra leadless pacemaker [PDF]
Background: Cardiac pacemakers improve survival and quality of life in patients with atrioventricular (AV) block. However, conventional pacemakers carry a small risk of both acute and chronic lead and pacemaker generator complications.

AbstractIntroductionFew predictors of low capture threshold before the deployment of the Micra transcatheter pacing system (Micra TPS) have been determined. We aimed to identify fluoroscopic predictors of an acceptable capture threshold before Micra TPS deployment.MethodsSixty patients were successfully implanted with Micra TPS.
