Abstract
Permanent cardiac pacemakers have traditionally comprised a surgically implanted subcutaneous pulse generator affixed to at least one transvenous pacing lead. Despite technological advances, implant-related complications and transvenous-lead failure rates have remained high. The Micra Transcatheter Pacing System is a miniaturized single chamber pacemaker that is implanted directly into the right ventricle, eliminating the subcutaneous pocket and creating a leadless pacemaker system. Registry data show an extremely high implant success rate, significantly lower major complication rates than transvenous pacemakers, stable pacing parameters and reliable battery performance. In this review we summarize the available clinical literature and highlight the promising efficacy and safety of the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System.
