A leadless pacemaker is a recently approved pacing technology that helps mitigate lead-related complications, but it has several limitations. Careful candidate selection is needed. Here, we demonstrate leadless pacing as the solution for prolonged postictal bradycardia/asystole; there is no consensus regarding pacemaker implantation for seizure patients with such a risk of sudden cardiac death.

Sarcoidosis is a complex disease characterized by inflammatory granulomas that can affect various organs, including the heart. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis poses challenges, and current criteria involve the use of advanced imaging techniques and histological confirmation. Clinical manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis vary widely, ranging from heart block to ventricular tachycardia and heart failure.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) can experience electromagnetic interference from various sources, including household and medical equipment, which can lead to malfunctions.
- A 79-year-old man experienced presyncope due to his abandoned abdominal pacemaker reactivating and interfering with his active leadless pacemaker, resulting in pacing problems and symptoms.
- The situation was managed by adjusting the active pacemaker's settings, but ultimately the best solution was to remove the abandoned pacemaker to prevent further complications.

. Endovascular brain-computer interfaces (eBCIs) offer a minimally invasive way to connect the brain to external devices, merging neuroscience, engineering, and medical technology. Currently, solutions for endovascular electrocorticography (ECoG) include a stent in the brain with sensing electrodes, a chest implant to accommodate electronic components to provide power and data telemetry, and a long (tens of centimeters) cable travel through vessels with a set of wires in between.

Aims: Leadless pacing is a safe and effective alternative to transvenous pacing for bradycardia. Micra AV is a leadless, single-device solution that provides atrioventricular synchronous ventricular pacing therapy. Early results from the Micra AV CED study showed reductions in short-term complications associated with the Micra AV leadless pacemaker among US Medicare patients.

However, it can present technical challenges for device implanters. We report a case involving a patient with PLSVC, for whom the implantation of a transcatheter pacing system proved to be the most effective long-term solution.
