Local versus general anesthesia for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR)- systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2014
The hypothesis of this study was that local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not harmful in comparison to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR).TAVR is a rapidly spreading ...

Leadless pacing with Micra TPS: A comparison between right ventricular outflow tract, mid-septal, and apical implant sites

, 2019
BACKGROUND: With its steerable transcatheter delivery system, the Micra can be deployed in nonapical positions within the right ventricle, potentially allowing reduction of the paced QRS width.

Procedural Complications and Inpatient Outcomes of Leadless Pacemaker Implantations in Rural Versus Urban Hospitals in the United States

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Disparities in invasive cardiovascular care and outcomes in rural and urban hospitals across the United States have been reported. However, studies investigating disparities regarding leadless pacemaker outcomes and complications based on hospital location are lacking.

Retrieval of a dislodged leadless pacemaker: An example of the double‐snare technique

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 1, February 2025.
A video demonstration presents the retrieval of a dislodged leadless pacemaker using the double‐snare technique. Sharing troubleshooting strategies in such cases is clinically important for managing rare pacemaker complications.

Updated Performance of the Micra Transcatheter Pacemaker in the Real-World Setting : a Comparison to the Investigational Study and a Transvenous Historical Control [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Early results of the Micra Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study and Micra Post-Approval Registry (PAR) demonstrated excellent safety and efficacy performance; however, intermediate-term results across a large patient population in ...

A case of successful salvage despite right ventricular perforation during AVEIR VR leadless pacemaker implantation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 1, February 2025.
To prevent cardiac tamponade caused by catheter tip slippage during the retraction of the protective sleeve in Aveir VR implantation, it is crucial to carefully evaluate not only the bulge of the protective sleeve but also the shape of the system's shaft using fluoroscopic imaging.

Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement for inoperable severe aortic stenosis. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) is the recommended therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable candidates for surgery. The outcomes beyond 1 year in such patients are not known.

Strategies to improve AV synchrony in patients with a Micra AV leadless pacemaker. [PDF]

The second generation of transcatheter pacing systems, called Micra AV, can provide atrio-ventricular (AV) synchronous pacing via a new pacing algorithm relying on sensing mechanical atrial contraction.

Single snare pushing technique: A new bailout technique for retrieving Micra fixed in the tricuspid valve annulus

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 1, February 2025.
When we recapture the Micra system, we capture the body by pulling the tether attached to the delivery catheter and retrieve it, but sometimes it is difficult, and the Micra is dislodged and fixed in the tricuspid valve annulus. Using a single snare catheter from the superior vena cava and pushing the tines changes the orientation of the device and ...
