Leadless cardiac ventricular pacing using helix fixation: Step-by-step guide to implantation.

Leadless cardiac pacemakers are an alternative modality to traditional transvenous pacemaker systems. Recently receiving Food and Drug Administration approval, the AVEIR VR leadless pacemaker system provides a helix based active fixation leadless pacemaker system. This step-by-step review will cover patient selection, pre-procedural planning, device implantation technique, implant site evaluation, troubleshooting, short- and long-term complications as well as future directions for leadless pacing.
