Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in an Adolescent with Durable LVAD Support.

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) utilization is increasing in pediatrics. These patients are often complex and may require treatment of AV block. Leadless pacing has been associated with a lower risk of device-related adverse events, but there are no reports of a leadless pacemaker implant in a pediatric patient with LVAD support. This report describes the use of a leadless pacemaker implantation in a 17-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and continuous flow LVAD support which facilitated transition to outpatient care.
