Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the outcomes of retrieving the Nanostim leadless pacemaker and replacing it with a Micra leadless pacemaker at Mayo Clinic between 2016 and 2018.* -
  • Out of 9 patients who underwent retrieval, 6 had successful simultaneous reimplantation, showing an 89% success rate for extractions and no major complications during the procedure.* -
  • Results suggest that it is feasible to retrieve the Nanostim LP and replace it with the Micra LP, with device function remaining normal at follow-up.*

Background: Leadless cardiac pacing (LCP) has emerged as a new modality for permanent pacing. We sought to describe comparative outcomes between LCP and transvenous pacemakers.

Methods: Patients receiving LCP (Micra [Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA] and Nanostim [St.

Background: Pacing lead-related tricuspid regurgitation (TR), a recognized complication of ventricular pacing lead implantation, may be affected by lead position or diameter.

Objective: This study sought to determine the effect of ventricular pacing lead position and diameter on pacing lead-related TR.

Methods: A randomized prospective trial compared pacing leads in the right ventricular apex (RVA), right ventricular septum (RVS), or left ventricle via the coronary sinus (LV-CS) in a 1:1:1 fashion.
