Successful implementation of a totally leadless biventricular pacing approach

Abstract

The major weakness of transvenous cardiac pacing derives from the fact that energy is delivered to the heart muscle from the pacing device through transvenous lead (TL). The TL has been shown to be susceptible to degradation over time, and in the case of infection the event may be life-threatening. Dominant right ventricular (RV) pacing may also lead to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
