Initial experience of leadless pacemaker implantation in Argentina

Abstract

Cardiac stimulation is a widely growing specialty during the last decades. The number of implanted cardiac devices is higher; but it is not rare to find patients presenting contraindications and difficulties for the implantation of a device. The cardiac leadless devices technology is a promising option that offers better safety with less implant-related complications. Besides, it is capable of maintaining atrioventricular synchrony with a single-chamber device. In this brief communication, the authors report the first 4 implants of MICRA AV devices in Argentina.
