Key result
Tailored extraction and anticoagulation are required to reduce thromboembolic risk following inadvertent LV leadless pacemaker implantation.
Why the study?
As leadless pacemaker use increases, the potential for complications such as inadvertent left ventricular implantation also rises.
Inadvertent LV implantation of a leadless pacemaker requires individualized management, including anticoagulation and percutaneous extraction, to mitigate thromboembolic risk.
