Right ventriculography improves the accuracy of leadless pacemaker implantation in right ventricular mid-septum

Yaodong Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility and safety of right ventriculography-guided implantation of the Micra (TM) leadless pacemaker in the right ventricular mid-septum. The results showed that the use of right ventriculography improved the accuracy of the pacemaker implantation and reduced X-ray exposure.

Clinical Outcomes of Non-Atrial Fibrillation Bradyarrhythmias Treated With a Ventricular Demand Leadless Pacemaker Compared With an Atrioventricular Synchronous Transvenous Pacemaker-A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

Kenichi Sasaki et al.

Summary: Implanting a ventricular demand leadless pacemaker (VVI-LPM) for non-atrial fibrillation patients increases the rate of heart failure readmission compared to the use of an atrioventricular synchronous transvenous pacemaker (DDD-TPM).

Comparison between leadless and transvenous single-chamber pacemaker therapy in a referral centre for lead extraction

Giulio Zucchelli et al.

Summary: The study findings indicate that Micra leadless pacemaker implantation is safe and effective, with lower rates of acute complications and system revisions compared to TV-VVI PM, even in patients who have undergone transvenous lead extraction (TLE).

Leadless pacemaker versus transvenous single-chamber pacemaker therapy: peri-procedural aspects, utilization of medical resources and patient acceptance

Pietro Palmisano et al.

Summary: Leadless pacemaker implantation may take longer than transvenous pacemaker, but it is associated with lower pain intensity during and after the procedure, shorter hospitalization, higher patient acceptance, and better quality of life compared to traditional pacemakers.
