Exploratory use of intraprocedural transesophageal echocardiography to guide implantation of the leadless pacemaker

Pericardial effusion requiring intervention in patients undergoing leadless pacemaker implantation: A real-world analysis from the National Inpatient Sample database

“…Use of contrast and steep fluoroscopic angles and occasional utilization of imaging modalities such as echocardiography during leadless pacemaker implantation can further improve the safety of such procedures, as they aid in avoiding apical right ventricular placement and should be considered especially in high-risk patient subgroups. 16 …”
