Introduction: Leadless cardiac pacemakers are an alternative modality to traditional transvenous pacemaker systems. Recently receiving Food and Drug Administration approval, the AVEIR VR leadless pacemaker system provides a helix based active fixation leadless pacemaker system. This step-by-step review will cover patient selection, preprocedural planning, device implantation technique, implant site evaluation, troubleshooting, short- and long-term complications as well as future directions for leadless pacing.
Methods: We collected and reviewed cases from primary operators to provide a step-by-step review for implanters.
Results: Our paper provides a guide to patient selection, pre-procedural planning, device im plantation technique, implant site evaluation, troubleshooting, short- and long-term complications as well as future directions for leadless pacing.
Conclusion: The helix based active fixation leadless pacemaker system is a safe and efficacious way to provide pacing support to patients and provides an alternative to transvenous pacing systems. Our review provides a step-by-step guide to implantation.
