Frequency and Extent of Leadless Pacemaker Encapsulation
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to assess the frequency and characteristics of leadless pacemaker (LP) encapsulation using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in patients with implanted LPs. Their study found that encapsulation was common, occurring in 85% of patients, with varying severity and involvement of surrounding anatomical structures, which could complicate retrieval procedures. The findings suggest that CT imaging is a valuable tool for identifying potential challenges related to LP retrieval.

"Oslr has become part of my weekly routine on my day off. The clinical relevance of the summaries is outstanding — I'd rate it 9/10. Being able to consume research hands-free is a huge advantage for busy physicians."
