Key result
Micra transcatheter pacing system implantation resulted in significant HRQoL improvements, with 96%, 91%, and 74% of patients satisfied with esthetic appearance, recovery, and activity at 3 months.

Does a transcatheter pacing system improve health-related quality of life in patients requiring pacing?
Transcatheter pacing systems significantly improve health-related quality of life and yield high patient satisfaction with fewer activity restrictions compared to traditional pacemakers.

Supports leadless pacing satisfaction in practice; observational data leaves comparative efficacy open.
Tjong et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Patients requiring pacemaker implantation (n=720). Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS) vs. Traditional pacemaker systems was evaluated on Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) impact using the Short-Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Micra transcatheter pacing system implantation resulted in significant HRQoL improvements, with 96%, 91%, and 74% of patients satisfied with esthetic appearance, recovery, and activity at 3 months.
