“…The incidence of device dislodgement beyond this period is unknown, although the paucity of case reports describing dislodgement of longstanding leadless pacemakers is reassuring. 59 Regardless, caution should be taken when introducing a pulmonary artery catheter or percutaneous right ventricular assist device in close proximity to the leadless pacemaker. Case reports of device dislodgement at the time of insertion emphasize the potential dire cardiopulmonary consequences of device embolism to the pulmonary arteries.…”

Since their initial approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2016, leadless pacemakers have become increasingly prevalent. This growth has been driven by an improved adverse effect profile when compared to traditional pacemakers, including lower rates of infection, as well as eliminated risk of pocket hematoma and lead complications. More recently, technology enabling leadless synchronized atrioventricular pacing in patients with atrioventricular block has vastly expanded the indications for these devices. Anesthesiologists will increasingly be relied upon to safely care for patients with leadless pacemakers undergoing non-electrophysiology procedures and surgery. This article provides an overview of the technology, evidence base, current indications, and unique perioperative considerations for leadless pacemakers.
