Leadless Pacemaker Pitfalls: Navigating Implantation and Postprocedure Challenges.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLeadless pacemakers (LPs) are implanted into the right ventricular septum, eliminating intravascular complications associated with traditional pacemakers. They attach to the myocardium using 4 curved, self-expanding nitinol tines. CASE SUMMARY: Our case highlights the rare occurrence of LP dislodgement into the pulmonary artery and the delayed development of a traumatic right ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm. DISCUSSION: LPs were designed to reduce the lead- and pocket-related complications that can be seen with conventional pacemakers. However, LPs carry a risk of dislodgement and embolization into the pulmonary artery compared with conventional pacemakers. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This case explores the complexities and risks involved in both the implantation and retrieval of LPs in high-risk patient populations and highlights the importance of meticulous technique in retrieving an acutely embolized LP from the right PA.
