Impact of Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Position on Subclinical Right Ventricular Perforation

Key Result

Subclinical right ventricular perforation following leadless pacemaker implantation is not uncommon and is not associated with overt adverse outcomes.

Key Points

• To determine how the implantation position of leadless pacemakers impacts the occurrence of subclinical right ventricular perforation.
• Examined common implantation sites for leadless pacemakers
• Analyzed incidence rates of subclinical RV perforation
• Compared outcomes associated with different implantation positions
• Subclinical RV perforation occurred frequently at the traditional implantation site
• No overt adverse outcomes were linked to these perforations
• Implantation position influences the incidence of perforation
