Simultaneous internal jugular vein access for leadless pacemaker implantation and atrioventricular node ablation is feasible and safe. This approach allows for early ambulation and discharge, offering an alternative strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Medical Devices
Background:
- Simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation (AVNA) and leadless pacemaker (LLPM) implantation via the internal jugular (IJ) vein is not well-documented.
- This study investigates the feasibility and outcomes of this combined approach using the AVEIR LLPM.
