This case highlights the potential for rapid encapsulation of a leadless pacemaker within two months of implantation.
Satoh et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Complete atrioventricular block (n=1). Leadless pacemaker (Micra) was evaluated on Autopsy findings of the leadless pacemaker. Autopsy performed two months after leadless pacemaker implantation revealed thick encapsulation and stable adhesion to the right ventricle trabeculae.
