Comparison of readmission outcomes and complications between leadless and traditional transvenous pacemakers in older adults: a nationwide readmission analysis of 49852 admission events.

analysed 204 patients with LPM and found that the risk of pericardial effusion was approximately twice that of traditional pacemakers, although this difference did not reach statistical significance, representing a non-significant trend. 31 Some studies have also found a higher incidence of pericarditis and pericardial effusion, which are similar to our results. 17 , 24 , 32 Regarding device-related complications, our study found that LPM recipients experienced lower rates of device revisions, implant-site issues, and device-related infections, whereas TV-VVI recipients experienced more complications, most of which were lead- or pocket-related.
