Inadvertent left ventricular implantation of leadless pacemakers requires individualized management with anticoagulation and tailored percutaneous extraction to reduce thromboembolic risk.
Inadvertent LV implantation of a leadless pacemaker requires individualized management, including anticoagulation and percutaneous extraction, to mitigate thromboembolic risk.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
As the use of leadless pacemakers increases, so does the potential for related complications, including inadvertent LV implantation. Using multiple fluoroscopic projections during implantation can help ensure correct right ventricular positioning. If LV placement occurs, management-including consideration of anticoagulation and tailored extraction strategies-should be individualized to reduce thromboembolic risk.
