Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Leadless cardiac pacemakers are typically implanted percutaneously.
  • They are often used in patients who have already undergone valve surgery.
  • The feasibility of direct visualization implantation during valve surgery was unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the feasibility and safety of implanting a leadless pacemaker under direct visualization during valve surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 15 adult patients undergoing leadless pacemaker implantation during valve surgery.
  • Indications for pacing included sick sinus syndrome, atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular rates, complete heart block, and high risk for postoperative heart block.
  • Pacemaker performance and pacing parameters were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Immediate post-bypass pacing thresholds were normal in 93% of patients and normalized in the remaining patient by the next morning.
  • Impedance and sensing values remained normal and stable throughout follow-up (151 ± 119 days).
  • Reliable performance allowed deferral of temporary epicardial wires in 73% of patients, with no procedural complications or device malfunction.

Conclusions:

  • Leadless pacemaker implantation during valve surgery is a feasible and safe hybrid approach.
  • This method can simplify perioperative management for patients requiring single-chamber pacing.
  • The study supports the integration of leadless pacing into cardiac surgical procedures.
