Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemakers versus Transvenous Pacemakers: A One-Year Retrospective Analysis

Key Points

• To compare the outcomes of dual-chamber leadless pacemakers and traditional transvenous pacemakers over one year.
• Conducted a retrospective analysis
• Included patients with dual-chamber leadless and transvenous pacemakers
• Assessments made on device performance and patient outcomes
• Leadless pacemakers showed a 15% lower rate of serious complications (p=0.045) compared to transvenous pacemakers.
• Transvenous pacemakers had a higher rate of lead-related issues (25% vs 10%, p=0.035).
• Both devices provided adequate heart rate control with no significant difference in overall efficacy.
