Abstract Introduction Currently, there are two approved single chamber leadless pacemakers (LP) in the United States (US), Micra VR™; approved since 2016 and AVEIR VR™; approved in 2022. A potential complication of LPs is dislodgement and/or embolization (D/E) during or after implant.

Introduction Multiple abnormal electrocardiographic findings have been documented in patients experiencing acute pulmonary embolism. To date, only a limited number of cases involving a complete atrioventricular block have been reported in acute pulmonary embolism. Echocardiography confirmed signs of right ventricular dysfunction.

This is demonstrated ( Figure 5 ) by the gap in arrows at the bottom of the strip, signifying that the demand pacemaker has recognized an underlying rhythm (in this case, artifact from a moving ambulance). The artifact fools the pacemaker into thinking the rhythm is native. On ED arrival ROSC is achieved.

Oral anticoagulation also reduced a composite of cardiovascular death, all-cause stroke, peripheral arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolism (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.73-1.00, We used random-effects models for meta-analysis and rated the quality of evidence using the GRADE framework. I2=0%; moderate-quality evidence).
