Temporary use of leadless pacemaker as a bridge to cardiac resynchronisation therapy: a case report of fulminant myocarditis
This case underscores the potential utility of a leadless pacemaker as a bridge to CRT therapy in patients with high risks of bleeding and infection. By employing this approach, the patient's clinical condition can be optimized, enabling the safe implantation of CRT. Further studies are warranted to validate our findings and evaluate the applicability of our novel strategy.
