Leadless cardiac pacemakers such as the Micra™ transcatheter leadless pacing system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) are an alternative to traditional transvenous pacemakers. Implantation of leadless pacemakers, albeit safe, may be associated with complications, including cardiac tamponade; high capture thresholds; and, rarely, ventricular arrhythmias. We report a case of ventricular fibrillation arrest following the implantation of a Micra™ leadless pacemaker.
无导线心脏起搏器,如Micra™经导管无导线起搏系统(美敦力公司,美国明尼阿波利斯市),是传统经静脉起搏器的一种替代方案。尽管无导线起搏器植入术是安全的,但仍可能伴有并发症,包括心脏压塞、高起搏阈值,以及罕见的室性心律失常。我们报告了一例在植入Micra™无导线起搏器后发生心室颤动骤停的病例。
