Extraction of a Micra Transcatheter Pacing System: First-in-human experience

Abstract

Clinical trials investigating the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter leadless pacemakers in humans are ongoing.1,2 These devices offer the benefits of cardiac pacing with the potential for a significant decrease in many of the risks associated with conventional pacing systems, including hematoma formation, pneumothorax, lead-related complications, and vascular obstruction.3
