First report of an Aveir retrievable leadless pacemaker in a pediatric patient, via internal jugular vein access

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundThe Aveir device allows retrievability and mapping prior to fixation over alternative leadless pacemakers.Case summaryWe describe the first case of Aveir leadless pacemaker implantation into a 44.5 kg, pediatric patient with symptomatic sinus dysfunction. Access by the right internal jugular vein (RIJ) with 1st attempt implantation into the septal location.DiscussionPlacement of the Aveir leadless pacemaker is feasible in a 44.5 kg pediatric patient via a RIJ approach.
