Progress in the clinical application of leadless cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers are an important treatment method for bradyarrhythmia,and the complications caused by the lead and pocket of the most common traditional cardiac pacemakers in clinical practice remain high.Leads can cause serious complications such as tricuspid regurgitation,endocarditis,and lead breakage,while pockets can also cause skin ulceration,infection,and even sepsis.Leadless pacemakers have no leads and do not require the production of pockets,significantly reducing the overall incidence of pacemaker complications.At present,there are more and more clinical applications of leadless pacemakers,which have evolved from single-chamber pacing to atrioventricular synchronous pacing or even combined pacing of multiple pacemakers.This article reviews the clinical application progress of leadless pacemakers based on relevant research reports in recent years.
