Abstract
The two currently available leadless pacemakers are highly effective and safe in the respective approval studies and also real-world registries. Compared to conventional pacemakers, there are lower long-term complication rates compared to conventional pacemaker systems (especially regarding lead dislocations and systemic infections). Increasing evidence (currently largely for the Micra™ [Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA] device) shows that these advantages are also valid in the long-term. Leadless pacemakers can therefore be regarded a "permanently good solution", when appropriately implanted in suitable patients.
