Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker Impresses in Safety-and-Performance Study
NEW ORLEANS — A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, according to the Aveir DR i2i Study. The implantation procedure, consisting of two functioning leadless pacemakers that established implant-to-implant communication, was successful in 98.3% (n=295 of 300) of trial patients, […]
