In a pivotal trial (NCT05252702), the AVEIR DR (Abbott) leadless pacemaker system was found to be safe and effective in delivering DDDR synchronous atrial and ventricular pacing. This dual-chamber system employs 2 leadless pacemakers with implant-to-implant communication. Although implantation of the ventricular device as a single-chamber pacemaker has been well described, there are additional considerations surrounding the dual-chamber implantation procedure. Herein, we review the dual-chamber leadless pacemaker implantation workflow while providing guidance to optimize safe and effective implantation procedures.
