Conclusion
In our case series, all 8 octogenarians experienced safe and effective
transcatheter LP implantations after a conventional removal of
infectious PMs. This novel LP technology may offer an alternative option
in considering re-implantation of a PM even among patients with an
advanced age who need ventricular pacing. Further, prospective,
multicenter, larger-scale studies are needed to confirm and extend the
current findings. Acknowledgments
