Right ventriculography improves the accuracy of leadless pacemaker implantation in right ventricular mid-septum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implanting leadless pacemakers in the right ventricular (RV) apex is prone to causing pericardial tamponade and myocardial perforation.

Objective

To investigate the feasibility and safety of right ventriculography-guided implantation of Micra™ leadless pacemaker (Micra™, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in the RV mid-septum.

Methods

One hundred eight consecutive patients who underwent Micra™ implantation intended in the mid-septum were enrolled and randomized (3:1) into the radiography group (n = 81) with assistance of right ventriculography to illustrate the RV septum and the non-radiography group (n = 27). All subjects underwent a postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan to determine the Micra™ location. The Micra™ location assessed by CT image was com
