Abstract | Cardiac pacemakers have been the standard therapy for
patients with bradyarrhythmias for several decades. The pacing lead is an integral part of the system that serves as
a conduit for delivery of energy pulses to stimulate the myocardium. However, it is also an Achilles tendon that
directly causes most device complications both acutely during implant and chronically years afterwards. Both durability
and optimization of stimulation site are important areas of improvement for manufacturers and implanters. Elimination
of the pacing lead and utilization of other means for energy transfer is the only way to avoid lead complications and
allow better choice of stimulation site. Leadless pacing with ultrasound-mediated energy has been demonstrated in
animals and humans in acute studies. This has aroused intense interest in the field of cardiac pacing. With concerted
effort from the profession and the industry, leadless pacing may indeed become a sound idea. |
