Key result
Leadless pacemakers, His bundle pacing, and subcutaneous defibrillators provide promising alternatives to conventional systems.
Why the study?
Cardiac pacing and defibrillation represent a field in constant evolution with significant technological advances from conception to methods of insertion.
This review highlights recent technological advances in cardiac pacing and defibrillation, including novel venous accesses, His bundle pacing, and subcutaneous defibrillators.
May inform individualized pacing/defibrillator selection in select patients; leaves open need for randomized comparative trials.
Since more than a half century, cardiac pacing and defibrillation represent a field in constant evolution, and they have shown some great technological advances from its conception to its methods of insertion. In this review, the recent developments about the accesses for pacemakers and ICD will be described: the axillary and the femoral vein. The His bundle pacing and the advantages of the entirely subcutaneous defibrillator will also be presented.

Bun et al. (2019) conducted a review in Cardiac pacing and defibrillation indications. Technological advances in cardiac pacing and defibrillation (e.g., leadless pacemakers, His bundle pacing, subcutaneous ICDs) was evaluated. Technological advances in cardiac pacing and defibrillation, such as leadless pacemakers, His bundle pacing, and subcutaneous defibrillators, provide promising alternatives to conventional systems.
