Pacing and Defibrillation Without Leads

 

Guest: Nicholas Tan, M.D.

Host: Anthony Kashou, M.D.

 

In this episode, listeners will hear about the history of pacemakers and defibrillators, both with and without leads. Potential risks and complications associated with transvenous cardiac devices are discussed. The listener should gain an awareness of leadless pacing and extravascular defibrillator systems.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • What are some of the risks associated with transvenous device implants?
  • What is leadless pacing, and how is it generally performed?
  • How does a defibrillator without transvenous leads work?
  • When will you consider “transvenous-free” pacing or defibrillation systems?
