Résumé
Our case demonstrates the safe and effective use of a leadless pacemaker in a heart transplant recipient. A man in his 60s with a history of heart transplantation with biatrial anastomosis 7 months prior presented to the emergency department after several syncopal episodes. Telemetry monitoring revealed a paroxysmal complete atrioventricular block. Given his immunocompromised state and prior dual chamber pacemaker extraction at the time of heart transplantation, the patient underwent successful implantation of a leadless pacemaker. Over the past 5 years since device implantation, the patient has not had any syncopal events nor has he had any device-related complications, such as infection.
