Key result
Communicating LP achieves successful VVI function and wireless S-ICD communication in preclinical models.
Preclinical evaluation of a combined ATP-enabled leadless pacemaker and S-ICD demonstrated successful wireless communication and ATP delivery over 3 months.
Hypothesis-generating for integrated leadless pacemaker-S-ICD systems; prospective human trials needed before clinical adoption.
This study presents the preclinical acute and chronic performance of the combined function of an ATP-enabled LP and S-ICD. Appropriate VVI functionality, successful wireless device-device communication, and ATP delivery were demonstrated by the LP. Clinical studies on safety and performance are needed.
