How is possible to live with 2 LP in the ventricle after implantation of a bicameral LP in a patient with a unicameral LP?
It is possible—and sometimes preferable—for a patient to live with two leadless pacemakers (LPs) in the right ventricle. The unicameral LP is left in place (turned off) to avoid extraction risks, while the bicameral LP is activated to provide dual-chamber pacing. Clinical experience so far supports the safety of this approach, although long-term surveillance is important.
