Leadless vs. transvenous single-chamber ventricular pacing in the Micra CED study: 2-year follow-up

Mikhael F. El-Chami et al.

Summary: The Micra leadless VVI pacemaker showed lower rates of reinterventions and chronic complications compared to transvenous VVI pacing in a real-world study of US Medicare patients, with no difference in all-cause mortality at 2 years.

Incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy in pacemaker-dependent patients is lower with leadless pacemakers compared to transvenous pacemakers

Reynaldo Sanchez et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the incidence of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy is significantly lower in patients with leadless pacemakers compared to those with transvenous pacemakers. Age and the use of transvenous pacemakers as pacing modality were identified as predictors for pacing-induced cardiomyopathy.

Contemporaneous Comparison of Outcomes Among Patients Implanted With a Leadless vs Transvenous Single-Chamber Ventricular Pacemaker

Jonathan P. Piccini et al.

Summary: This study compared patient characteristics and complications between patients implanted with leadless VVI and transvenous VVI pacemakers. Despite significant differences in patient characteristics, patients with leadless VVI pacemakers had higher rates of pericardial effusion and/or perforation but lower rates of other device-related complications and revisions at 6 months.
