Key result
Aveir VR implantation requires careful fluoroscopic evaluation of the protective sleeve bulge and system shaft shape to prevent cardiac tamponade caused by catheter tip slippage.
Why the study?
Catheter tip slippage during retraction of the protective sleeve in Aveir VR implantation can cause cardiac tamponade.
Careful fluoroscopic evaluation of the protective sleeve and system shaft is crucial to prevent cardiac tamponade during AVEIR VR leadless pacemaker implantation.
Fluoroscopic shaft assessment may avert tamponade in Aveir VR implantation; leaves open prospective validation of this technique.
To prevent cardiac tamponade caused by catheter tip slippage during the retraction of the protective sleeve in Aveir VR implantation, it is crucial to carefully evaluate not only the bulge of the protective sleeve but also the shape of the system's shaft using fluoroscopic imaging.
