Article Synopsis
- The study examines the success and outcomes of implanting the Micra™ leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) in patients who had to get their infected or dysfunctional cardiac devices removed.
- Out of 48 patients, LCP implantation was successful in 47, with a majority receiving the LCP in a single procedure, particularly those with infections.
- The in-hospital mortality was 6%, but survival rates remained high at 30 days (94%), 90 days (90%), and 1 year (85%), with no recurrence of infections during follow-up.
