Author: Sangeeta Dhir et al Background : The leadless pacemaking transcatheter system , Micra , is a miniaturized, single-chamber pacemaker system. We report herein our experience with implantation of the Micra TPS system. Objective : The current study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the leadless Micra Transcatheter Pacemaker System (Medtronic). Research Design and methods : This was a prospective single centre nonrandomized study without controls.
A transcatheter pacemaker was implanted in patients who had guideline-based indications for ventricular pacing. 28 subjects were screened based on the selection criteria. Mica TPS was implanted. Parameters assessed were : duration of procedure (from femoral vein puncture to venous access closure), fluoroscopy time, number of device repositions, periprocedural electrical measurements (sensing, threshold and impedance)…
