Left ventricular guidewire pacing for transcatheter aortic valve implantation [PDF]
Previous reports prove the safety and efficacy of cardiac pacing employing a guidewire in the left ventricle as unipolar pacing electrode. We describe the use of left ventricular guidewire pacing as an alternative to conventional transvenous temporary ...

A leadless pacemaker in the real-world setting: The Micra Transcatheter Pacing System Post-Approval Registry [PDF]
First-in-man studies of leadless pacemakers have demonstrated high rates of implant success, and safety and efficacy objectives were achieved. Outside of the investigational setting, there are concerns, particularly over cardiac effusion and perforation, device dislodgement, infection, telemetry, and battery issues.

Troubleshooting in PM Leadless: How to manage an indissoluble knot
A 77‐year‐old patient, with permanent atrial fibrillation, underwent successful Micra transcatheter pacing system (MTPS) implantation. Once begun the pull‐back of the tether, an increasing resistance was felt by the operator until complete blockage.

Transcatheter Leadless Cardiac Pacing with Limited Venous Access [PDF]
Entirely leadless cardiac pacemakers that are delivered transvenously required the use of large diameter delivery sheath and femoral venous approach. The complexity of external femoral and iliac venous anatomy may limit their implantation.
