Leadless cardiac pacing
Transvenous cardiac pacemakers definitely improve quality of life and reduce mortality in at-risk patients, but they are associated with several potential device-related complications. Approximately 10% of patients experience complications related to transvenous implantation of the pacemaker. These may be attributable to either the pulse generator (hematoma, skin breakdown, pocket infection) or...
متن کاملPermanent leadless cardiac pacing: results of the LEADLESS trial.
BACKGROUND Conventional cardiac pacemakers are associated with several potential short- and long-term complications related to either the transvenous lead or subcutaneous pulse generator. We tested the safety and clinical performance of a novel, completely self-contained leadless cardiac pacemaker. METHODS AND RESULTS The primary safety end point was freedom from complications at 90 days. Sec...
متن کاملLeadless Pacemaker: a New Concept in Cardiac Pacing
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20160144 67 year-old female patient, pacemaker user since 1983 due to complete atrioventricular block. Between 1991 and 2004, the patient underwent six surgeries. The first was to replace the batteries, and the others for electrode displacement, generator extrusion, and finally for endocarditis, when surgical extraction of the system and epicardial electrode implantation in the...
متن کاملFeasibility of Leadless Cardiac Pacing Using Injectable Magnetic Microparticles
A noninvasive, effective approach for immediate and painless heart pacing would have invaluable implications in several clinical scenarios. Here we present a novel strategy that utilizes the well-known mechano-electric feedback of the heart to evoke cardiac pacing, while relying on magnetic microparticles as leadless mechanical stimulators. We demonstrate that after localizing intravenously-inj...
