Abstract
People over 65 years old account for almost one fifth (19%) of the European population. A percentage of the oldest old in this group also increases. Patients over 80 years old are burdened with a number of comorbidities with the lead of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). An aging organism creates demanding conditions for pacemaker implantation and surgery in general. We report a case of a 102-year old patient with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome and syncope who has had MicraTM Transcatheter Pacing System (Micra TPS, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) implantated.
