Does the jugular approach for leadless pacemaker implantation improve procedural outcomes and safety?
The jugular approach for leadless pacemaker implantation offers a feasible alternative that may reduce vascular complications, improve pacing parameters, and allow for immediate ambulation.
The jugular approach for leadless pacemaker implantation is feasible and may avoid vascular complications. It facilitates non-apical positioning of leadless pacemakers leading to a narrower paced QRS interval. The jugular approach allows for immediate post procedural ambulation.
