Cremation of implanted cardiac electronic devices can be associated with explosion from rapid gas formation causing potential hazard to the crematoria staffs and facilities. We present four patients who had undergone cremation with a leadless pacemaker (Micra , Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) left inside their bodies. There was neither reported explosion nor damage to the cremation chamber during the cremation process. In this small series, cremation of Micra is not associated with noticeable explosion.
植入式心脏电子设备的火化可能会因快速产气而引发爆炸，对火葬场工作人员和设施造成潜在危害。我们报告了4例体内留有无导线起搏器（美敦力公司，美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市，Micra）进行火化的患者。在火化过程中，既没有报告爆炸事件，火化室也未受损。在这个小样本系列中，Micra起搏器的火化未伴随明显爆炸。
