Summary
Acute thrombosis is a rare complication during atrial leadless pacemaker (LP) implantation, potentially occurring in patients with hypercoagulable states or during prolonged procedures. High impedance during mapping can signal this issue.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Devices
- Electrophysiology
Background:
- Atrial leadless pacemakers (LPs) offer physiological pacing but are associated with procedural risks.
- Implantation challenges can arise, particularly in elderly or uncooperative patients.
