Leadless pacemaker through tricuspid bioprosthetic valve: Early experience
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Arrhythmia"
DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12478
Abstract: Leadless pacemaker (LP) therapy has been proved effective in cases where traditional transvenous right pacing (TRP) failed. TRP through a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve (BTV) has always been considered an unpreferable solution because of possible deleterious… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrcr.2017.11.003
Abstract: Introduction Cardiac pacing has been an established therapy for patients with bradyarrhythmias. In conventional pacemakers, leadrelated complications such as venous obstruction, insulation fracture, and lead-related infection are the main concern after pacemaker implantation. Recently leadless… read more here.
