Leadless pacemaker implantation after transcatheter lead extraction in complex anatomy patient

Valentina De Regibus et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

After transvenous lead extraction, leadless pacemaker might be a valid alternative to the traditional two-step strategy including an active fixation leads temporary PM and subsequent contralateral permanent implantation in patients who are pacemaker-dependent. Moreover, leadless PM might be of great importance in patients presenting with congenital vascular or cardiac abnormality.

Keywords: Dextrocardia; leadless pacemaker; situs viscerum inversus; transvenous lead extraction.
