Structured PICO

Population

1 pacing-dependent 60-year-old man with skin erosion of a single-chamber pacemaker pocket after battery replacement, and a persistent left superior vena cava.

Intervention

Leadless cardiac pacemaker (Micra transcatheter pacing system) implanted via the right femoral vein.

Outcome

Successful implantation and pacing parameters (sensing, pacing impedance, pacing thresholds).

Leadless pacemakers can be successfully implanted as an alternative in pacing-dependent patients with complex venous anatomy and pocket infections.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports alternative femoral access for leadless pacemakers in complex anatomy; leaves open safety, durability, and generalizability.
