welcomes you to the new, improved website!Results of a multicenter trial of a leadless transcatheter pacing system were reviewed in 300 pts at 6 mos. Implantation was successful in 99%. Safety was assessed as freedom from system-related or procedure related complications, and was 96%. Efficacy was assessed as stable pacing capture at low voltage and was 98%. 25 pts suffered major complications, which is less than for typical systems with leads.
