Safety and Performance of the Micra VR Leadless Pacemaker in a South Korean Cohort: A Comparison to Global Studies.
Article in Korean circulation journal, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe Micra leadless pacemaker demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile in global trials, but its performance and safety in a South Korean-specific population are unknown.
methodsThe prospective, single-arm Micra Acute Performance South Korean registry was designed to study the performance of the Micra VR leadless pacemaker in patients from South Korea. The primary objectives were to characterize the rate of acute (30 days) and longer-term (12 months) major complications. Electrical performance and quality of life at baseline and follow-up were also characterized.
resultsA total of 100 enrolled patients underwent Micra VR implant at 8 centers in South Korea between July 2021 and February 2022 with 99% successfully implanted. Mean pacing capture threshold was 0.57±0.46 V at implant and remained stable through 12 months (0.65±0.44 V). Korean valuation of health status significantly increased from baseline (0.78±0.24) to 12 months (0.84±0.21) (p=0.016). Compared with global patients, South Korean patients were younger, had a lower body mass index, and fewer had a prior cardiovascular implantable electronic device (all p<0.01). During the follow-up period 1 major complication was reported (implant site hematoma) at 26 days post-implant. No pericardial effusion or tamponade events were observed. Through 12 months post-implant the major complication rate was 1.0% (95% confidence interval, 0.03%, 5.45%).
conclusionsIn a South Korean cohort, the Micra VR leadless pacemaker was implanted with a high success rate and low major complication rate.
