AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses the first-ever fully leadless cardiac resynchronization therapy pacing implant using a transseptal approach for a patient with several heart-related issues, including pacemaker dependency, atrial fibrillation, and a history of infections.
  • After removing the existing leads, the medical team successfully installed a Micra Transcatheter Pacing System as the patient's right ventricular pacemaker and utilized the WISECRT system for biventricular pacing.
  • The procedure involved a unique transseptal approach due to the patient's prosthetic aortic mechanical valve, leading to positive outcomes during the procedure.

Article Abstract

We describe the world's first fully leadless cardiac resynchronization therapy pacing implant with transseptal approach, in a patient with pacemaker dependency, atrial fibrillation, ischemic hypokinetic cardiomyopathy, and a history of pocket infections. After lead extraction, we implanted a MicraTranscathether Pacing System® (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) as the sole right ventricular pacemaker, and the WISECRT system (EBR Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) to provide biventricular pacing. We performed the WISECRT implant procedure using the transseptal approach given the presence of a prosthetic aortic mechanical valve, achieving satisfactory periprocedural results.
