: Leadless pacemakers offer a safe and effective alternative pacing strategy. However, limited data are available for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), a population of significant relevance. Using the Nationwide Readmission Database, we extracted data from all adult patients with ESRD who underwent traditional transvenous or leadless pacemaker implantation between 2016 and 2021.

Temporary Transvenous Pacing Performed in the Intensive Care Unit or in the Catheterization Laboratory.

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol

Service de rythmologie cardiaque, Hôpital Cardiologique Louis Pradel, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France.

Background: Temporary transvenous pacing (TTP) is a common procedure, predominantly performed in the catheterization laboratory (cath lab) because of presumed lower complication rate. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TTP placement in the ICU compared to TTP placement in the cath lab.

Methods: This retrospective, real-life study included all patients requiring TTP in a tertiary care ICU between 2019 and 2022.

A leadless pacemaker (LP) is a modern alternative to a transvenous pacemaker, allowing certain complications to be avoided; however, some cannot be eliminated. To highlight the essential role of advanced speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in diagnosing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) caused by an LP. A 79-year-old male, after LP implantation a year earlier, was admitted due to heart failure (HF).

Introduction: The advancement of medical technology has introduced leadless pacemakers (LPMs) as a significant innovation in cardiac pacing, offering potential advantages over traditional ventricular transvenous pacemakers. This report explores the application of LPMs in two patients with complex valvular histories, particularly those with mechanical tricuspid valves.

Case Reports: The first case involves a 60-year-old male with a history of rheumatic heart disease and triple valve replacement who developed a high-grade AV block.

Transvenous extraction of the leads in children is associated with a higher risk of serious complications, that is why it is reluctantly performed. Unfortunately, this conservative approach has been associated with secondary complications (tricuspid valve dysfunction and bilateral venous obstruction), adverse events during lead removal procedure and recanalization and stenting of chest veins. We present a case of a 27-year-old female with a pacemaker and insertion of two new leads on the opposite side of the chest leaving the old ones in place.
