Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Intraoperative Leadless Pacemaker Implantation During Valve Surgery
Authors' conclusion
Intraoperative LCP implantation under direct visualization is a safe strategy to provide permanent pacing in patients undergoing valve surgery, with a postoperative electrical performance comparable to percutaneously placed LCPs.
