Abstract

Although the late cardiac tamponade in leadless pacemaker implantation (LPI) is rare, we encountered such an incident in patient with AVEIR-VR™ system on hemodialysis and warfarinization. When LPI with active fixation system, we should aim for successful single-attempt deployment using electrical premapping to prevent cardiac tamponade including the late phase.
