Double Perclose increases the efficiency of leadless pacemaker implantation: a propensity score–matched analysis
Leadless pacemakers (LPs) represent groundbreaking advancement in cardiac pacing, mitigating common complications associated with conventional transvenous pacemakers, including lead dislodgement/malfunction, pocket hematoma, and infection.1 However, the use of large venous transcatheter delivery systems with outer diameters up to 27-F is necessary for delivering LP systems, raising concerns about access site complications and prolonged bed rest.1,2
