Minimizing for Maximum Benefit: An Illustrative Case‐Series of Atrial Only Leadless Pacing

Abstract

Leadless pacing technology now includesdedicated atrial helix‐fixation leadless pacemakers (LPs), expanding theapplication of leadless devices for patients with sinus node dysfunction andatrioventricular block during sinus rhythm. This first reportedcase‐series of atrial LPs describes and discusses the potential use‐casescenarios of recently approved helix‐fixation atrial LPs. The article highlights important concepts regarding their use, including implantationtechniques, programming, battery conservation, and the low rate of progressionof AV block in patients implanted with AAI(R) pacemakers.
