Do leadless transcatheter pacemakers reduce device-related complications compared to transvenous pacemakers in patients requiring pacing?
Leadless pacemakers are associated with a significantly lower risk of late device-related complications compared to traditional transvenous pacemakers, with similar early complication rates.
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.
Palmisano et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
