Commentary on implantation of the Micra transcatheter pacing system: A single center North India experience

Abstract

Transvenous pacemakers (TVPs) using pectoral pulse generators and transvenous leads are a well-established treatment for bradyarrhythmias and have served us well for 6 decades [1]. However, implantation of these pacemaker devices are not devoid of substantial complications. The complications are primarily related to the need for pacemaker pockets and the requirement for leads for right ventricular pacing. Around half of them are attributable to lead-and generator
