Unstructured Abstract
Temporary transvenous pacing in critically ill patients requiring prolonged cardiac pacing is associated with a high risk of complications. Leadless pacemaker implantation in patients hospitalized in intensive care unit is feasible in almost 100% of cases and associated with a 5% procedure-related complications rate. It appears as an interesting alternative to conventional temporary transvenous pacing in selected critically ill patients requiring prolonged cardiac pacing, to reduce the risk of both acute and late complications, especially infections and pacing failures.
