Rate and nature of complications with leadless transcatheter pacemakers compared with transvenous pacemakers: results from an Italian multicentre large population analysis
Structured PICO
Do leadless transcatheter pacemakers reduce device-related complications compared to transvenous pacemakers in patients requiring pacing?
P
Population
Patients requiring pacemaker implantation in an Italian multicentre large population analysis
I
Intervention
Leadless transcatheter pacemakers (L-PM)
C
Comparator
Transvenous pacemakers (T-PM)
O
Outcome
Device-related complications (early and late)safety
Leadless pacemakers are associated with a significantly lower risk of late device-related complications compared to traditional transvenous pacemakers, with similar early complication rates.
Abstract
In this analysis, the risk of device-related complications associated with L-PM implantation tended to be lower than that of T-PM. Specifically, the risk of early complications was similar in two types of PMs, while the risk of late complications was significantly lower for L-PM than T-PM.
