Author ProfileAbstract
Leadless cardiac pacemakers such as the Micra transcatheter leadless
pacing system provide an alternative to traditional transvenous
pacemakers. Implantation of leadless pacemakers, albeit safe may be
associated with complications including cardiac tamponade, high capture
thresholds, and rarely, ventricular arrhythmias. We report a case of
ventricular fibrillation arrest following Micra leadless pacemaker
implantation.
