Synchronous atrioventricular sequential pacing utilizing conventional and leadless pacemakers in an elderly patient: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leadless pacemakers present a viable alternative to conventional transvenous devices to mitigate the risk of lead- and/or pocket-related complications. In elderly patients who have encountered ventricular lead failures with transvenous pacemakers, this option may enable the delivery of atrioventricular synchronous pacing therapy, while obviating the requirement for lead extraction and lead-based pacemaker re-implantation.

Case summary

This case report describes the successful implantation of a leadless pacemaker in a 90-year-old who had undergone two dual-chamber permanent pacemaker implantation procedures with a failure of three of four previously implanted leads. Atrioventricular synchronous pacing was achieved, as the leadless device was able to track the atria
