First report of an Aveir retrievable leadless pacemaker in a pediatric patient, via internal jugular vein access

Abstract

Background: The Aveir device allows retrievability and mapping prior to fixation over alternative leadless pacemakers. Case summary: We describe the first case of Aveir leadless pacemaker implantation into a 44.5 kg, pediatric patient with symptomatic sinus dysfunction. Access by the right internal jugular vein (RIJ) with 1st attempt implantation into the septal location. Discussion: Placement of the Aveir leadless pacemaker is feasible in a 44.5 kg pediatric patient via a RIJ approach.
