Leadless Pacing: DDD – schon alles erreicht?
摘要
Leadless pacing entered cardiology with VVI systems. These have been established for years and have overcome weaknesses of transvenous systems (endoplastitis/endocarditis, lead fractures, pocket hematomas and infections, venous access blockade). Many patients with symptomatic bradycardias are in need of a dual chamber system, which establishes the need for true DDD leadless pacemaker systems. These DDD leadless systems are available and there are numerous publications on implant techniques and technical performances as well as a growing number on clinical performances. This article summarizes these data and publications.
