Results:
All patients had more than 2 medical comorbidities. The indications for
the LP implantations were atrioventricular block in 3 patients, atrial
fibrillation bradycardia in 3, and sinus node dysfunction in 2. Five
patients were bridged with a temporary pacing using an active fixation
lead (median interval of 14.5 days), while one patient with severe
dementia underwent a concomitant LP implantation and TLE during the same
procedure. Successful TLEs and LP implantations were accomplished in all
patients. There were no major or minor complications including vascular
access troubles. All patients were discharged 2–8 days after the
implantation. All patients stayed free of infection during the follow-up
period of 6 months
