Precision patient selection for ablate-and-pace: a multi-center study comparing leadless pacemaker vs. standard pacemaker in patients with indication to ablate-and-pace for atrial fibrillation (LEAD-AP)
Leadless pacemakers provide comparable safety and efficacy to transvenous systems in ablate-and-pace patients, while enabling shorter hospitalization through a streamlined single-step approach.
