About Leadless Pacemaker (Micra)
The Micra leadless pacemaker is a tiny self-contained device placed directly inside the heart, with no leads or chest pocket. It treats slow heart rhythms, mainly in people who need single-chamber pacing.
Under local anaesthesia with sedation, a catheter is passed through a vein in the groin to the right ventricle, where the capsule-sized pacemaker is anchored to the heart wall. There is no incision in the chest and no visible scar. The procedure is typically shorter than a conventional pacemaker implant, and the device is checked before the catheter is removed.
Usually a good fit if
- Slow heart rhythm needing single-chamber ventricular pacing, such as permanent atrial fibrillation with slow rates.
- Higher risk from conventional pacemaker pockets or leads, such as infection risk, dialysis or poor veins.
- People who prefer no visible device under the skin.
- Suitable heart size and vein anatomy.
May need to wait if
- Need for atrial or dual-chamber pacing, which standard Micra cannot provide, although newer versions exist.
- Active infection or blood-clotting problems.
- Severe right heart enlargement or blocked femoral veins.
- Mechanical tricuspid valve.
How to prepare
- Have an ECG, rhythm monitoring and echocardiogram, plus blood tests including clotting and kidney function.
- Review blood thinners and other medicines with your doctor, who will tell you what to adjust before the procedure.
- Tell the team about vein blockage or filters in the leg veins, or previous groin procedures.
- Fast for the hours the team specifies.
- Plan a device identification card and arrange follow-up near home.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is a single-chamber leadless device suitable for my rhythm?
- How many leadless pacemakers has your team implanted?
- What happens when the battery runs low?
- What is the risk of heart perforation, and how would you manage it?
- Can my home clinic check this device?
- Would a conventional pacemaker serve me better?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Leadless device offered when you need dual-chamber pacing without explanation.
- Team has little experience and no cardiac surgical backup.
- No device-clinic follow-up arranged.
- No explanation of battery replacement approach.
- Claim that leadless pacemakers never have complications.
