12-month follow-up data demonstrates that the world’s first leadless pacemaker is having overall device performance comparable to conventional pacemakers. The miniature-sized, leadless cardiac ...

ORLANDO, FL — Transvenous pacemaker leads pose a number of potential challenges and risks, including serious infection, so several alternative strategies—such as subcutaneous leads in the case of ...

Patients receiving leadless pacemakers experience overall fewer short-term and mid-term complications than those receiving traditional transvenous pacemakers, a new study found. Patients receiving ...

For the past 50 years, pacemakers have hardly changed, but a new device has the potential to change how pacemakers work. The device is the size of a large vitamin and is implanted via catheter rather ...
