[Micra® leadless pacemaker].

Abstract

The Micra® leadless pacemaker has demonstrated both safety and efficacy in the short and mid-term as an alternative to conventional transvenous pacemakers. This technology provides a new solution, especially for patients without conventional venous approach and for older patients with atrial fibrillation presenting with symptomatic bradycardia. The advantages of this approach are multiple : a miniature technology therefore less invasive, short procedure, no stimulation leads, or need to create a surgical pocket with a reduced risk of infection. The pacemaker's battery has a life expectancy similar to that of a conventional transvenous pacemaker. In this article, we discuss the characteristics of Micra® versus the traditional transvenous pacemaker.
