Vascular Access for Minimally-invasive Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Through the Right Jugular routE

Sponsor: University Hospital, Caen

Summary

Leadless pacemakers (LP) are associated with a lower risk of revision compared with transvenous pacemakers. However, LPs implantation is associated with a 0.6% risk of complication at the femoral vein puncture site (e.g. arteriovenous fistula, haemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm, etc.). As a consequence, the need for prolonged in-hospital monitoring after LP implantation though the right femoral (RF)vein is a barrier to same-day discharge. Recently, right internal jugular (RIJ) vein access has emerged an alternative to right RF vein access for LP implantation (with a regulatory approval for MEDTRONIC Micra LP). The aims of this registry are the following : * evaluate the feasibility of RIJ access for LP implantation; * confirm the acute and chronic safety of RIJ access for LP implantation; * compare RIJ to RF (historical cohort) vein access regarding procedural characteristics and outcomes; * evaluate the feasibility of same-day discharge avec LP implantation through the RIJ vein.
