AV synchronous pacing with a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in a patient with COVID-19 and complete AV block

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: We present the first case of implantation of a novel singlechamber leadless pacemaker capable of atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacing in a patient with COVID-19 and complete AV block.This device not only promotes AV synchrony, but also eliminates risk of iatrogenic pneumothorax and pocket complications, such as haematoma and infection and may therefore be considered a valuable alternative to a dual-chamber pacemaker.
