Complications associated with transvenous pacemakers, specifically those involving the lead or subcutaneous pocket, may be avoided with leadless pacemakers (LPs). The safety and efficacy of single-chamber right ventricular LPs have been demonstrated, but their right atrium (RA) use poses new design...
