Pacemakers are frequently essential in managing conduction disorders. Recently, the advancement of leadless pacemakers (LPs) has emerged, offering an alternative without the need for an upper shoulder incision or pacing leads. Despite the advantages, including reduced infection risk and improved durability, the novel nature of LPs means that some complications are still being identified. This report presents a unique case of pericarditis occurring after the implantation of a Micra leadless pacemaker (MLP) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN). It demonstrates the critical need for careful post-procedural monitoring to promptly detect and address potential complications associated with this emerging technology.
起搏器在管理传导障碍方面常常至关重要。最近，无导线起搏器（LPs）取得了进展，提供了一种无需肩部上方切口或起搏导线的替代方案。尽管具有包括降低感染风险和提高耐用性等优点，但无导线起搏器的新颖特性意味着仍在发现一些并发症。本报告介绍了一例在植入美敦力公司（明尼阿波利斯，明尼苏达州）的Micra无导线起搏器（MLP）后发生心包炎的独特病例。它表明了术后仔细监测以迅速检测和处理与这项新兴技术相关的潜在并发症的迫切需求。
