Key result
Simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation was feasible and safe, with an 11% complication rate compared to 5.5% for pacemaker implantation alone.
Why the study?
Does simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation provide a safe and feasible alternative to leadless pacemaker implantation alone in patients requiring both?
Observational (n=137)
Yes
Does simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation provide a safe and feasible alternative to leadless pacemaker implantation alone in patients requiring both?
Absolute Event Rate: 11% vs 5.5%
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports feasibility of combined AV node ablation and leadless pacemaker but doubled complications warrant caution; leaves open randomized confirmation.
Martínez‐Sande et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Indication for single-chamber pacemaker placement (n=137). Simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation vs. Leadless pacemaker implantation alone was evaluated on Complications. Simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation was feasible and safe, with an 11% complication rate compared to 5.5% for pacemaker implantation alone.
