- Aveir VR, retrievable leadless pacing in the young Ashley Wong Jay Yeh Stacy Davidson Sherzana Sunderji Jonathan Dayan Daniel Cortez Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology AbstractIntroductionSuccessful implantations of the Aveir VR, have been effectively demonstrated in adults; however, there remain limited reports supporting safe and feasible implantation of the Aveir VR in the young population.MethodsRetrospective, observational study of Aveir VR implantation of young patients (≦21 years old) at UC Davis Medical Center from November 2022 to January 2024 via the internal jugular or femoral vein implantation approaches. Indications for pacing, patient demographics, pacing thresholds and longevity were reported at the time of implantation and last follow‐up.ResultsA total of 10 patients received the Aveir VR with a median age of years (IQR 12.5–17) and median weight of 50.8 kg (IQR 44.6–60.9) kg. The majority were male (80%). Aveir VR leadless pacemaker occurred via internal jugular venous (90%) or femoral venous (10%) approaches. Indications for placement were intermittent complete heart block (60%) and sinus pauses (40%). Adequate impedance, sensing and thresholds were maintained from implantation to a median follow‐up of 9 months. Predicted pacemaker longevity at follow‐up median was 23.8 years. There were no complications in any of the 10 patients.ConclusionAveir VR implantation via the internal jugular and femoral veins is feasible in the young patient population with stable pacing parameters at follow‐up. 10.1111/pace.15039 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
