Key result
Micra leadless pacemaker insertion is linked to major right ventricular perforation requiring surgical repair.
Why the study?
Although Micra leadless pacemakers have demonstrated low rates of cardiac perforation in trials and registries, recent reports indicate higher rates of severe complications compared to transvenous devices.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
This case report highlights the risk of major right ventricular perforation requiring surgical intervention during leadless pacemaker insertion, contrasting with the low complication rates reported in preapproval trials.
Gulkarov et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Right ventricular perforation during leadless pacemaker insertion (n=2). Micra leadless pacemaker insertion was evaluated on Major right ventricular perforation requiring surgical intervention. Micra leadless pacemaker insertion was associated with two cases of major right ventricular perforation requiring surgical intervention.
