On March 17, 2025, the Department of Cardiology at the Affiliated Dazu Hospital of Chongqing Medical University admitted a patient with recurrent syncope. The team successfully implanted an active screw-in leadless pacemaker into the patient’s right ventricular septum via right femoral vein puncture and catheterization. The procedure was completed smoothly, and the patient has since been discharged.
Compared to traditional pacemakers, this leadless device offers shorter surgery time, minimal postoperative scarring, enhanced durability, and reduced infection risks.
Led by Dr. SONG Wenxin, the cardiovascular team conducted a thorough preoperative assessment of the patient’s condition, cardiac function, and vascular status, fully considering the patient’s and family’s preferences before deciding to implant the latest-generation Aveir active fixation leadless retrievable pacemaker.
