Key result
Atrial helix-fixation leadless pacemakers expand device application for sinus node dysfunction, with important concepts including implantation techniques, programming, and battery conservation.
Why the study?
Dedicated atrial helix-fixation leadless pacemakers expand leadless pacing applications, but real-world use cases and clinical considerations for these newly approved devices need description.

May expand leadless pacing options in sinus node dysfunction; case series leaves open long-term safety and efficacy.
Leadless pacing technology now includesdedicated atrial helix-fixation leadless pacemakers (LPs), expanding theapplication of leadless devices for patients with sinus node dysfunction andatrioventricular block during sinus rhythm. This first reportedcase-series of atrial LPs describes and discusses the potential use-casescenarios of recently approved helix-fixation atrial LPs. The article highlights important concepts regarding their use, including implantationtechniques, programming, battery conservation, and the low rate of progressionof AV block in patients implanted with AAI(R) pacemakers.
