Has anyone has a Mica, or leadless, wireless pacemaker implanted ?
My pacemaker wire is holding open a flap of my tricuspid valve. I have perm. Afib with sick sinus syndrome. Open tricuspid flap is causing R. Ventricular dilation due to regurgitation, heading toward failure. planning to remove leads( wires) and implant wireless pacer.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pacemaker & ICDs Support Group.

I am on the following of ICD/Pacemaker but never had these post show up on my notifications.

I have had a ICD/Pacemaker (wires) since 2006. On my 3rd one. I would like to know more about the wireless ones. I hope the posts I am reading are not the norm for the new wireless ones.

I do know I have had issues with my wireless. I had one come out in 2006 after playing tennis. I had that one removed, but EP had surgeon do it and then go in from my side, deflate my lung, and put a wire on heart that way. Well, that wire got so much impedance on it when I had my next pacemaker, they shut that wire off and put a new wire into my heart. They were able to get into the area needed. But then months later it moved and lost contact with heart. So they did some different things to find a path and it worked.

I now have very high noise on my atrial wires that device sees as AFIB. It is not so my device sensitivity is turned down.

All this is why I was interested in the new wireless. Has anyone had good results on the wireless?

Also monitor, can you comment why did not get any notifications on pacemaker group. I checked my profile and the pacemaker group is on with following but no notifications like those above.

I just received my Aveir Leadless PM on 3/2/26. Single chamber, however Aveir PM has a dual chamber PM now called "i2i" (implant to implant communication). The norm was 1 chamber, go leadless, 2 chambers, bump on the collar bone, leads to the heart. Now that has obviously changed. Tomorrow I see the EP for follow up and there may be some adjustments to the Aveir PM while there. Right now, all good with my experience. Follow-up may change some things.

Cardioversion and Aveir PM, I',m on day 8 of NSR (Normal Sinus Rythm). Left out some details but in the short term addressed your question, short timer but looking good. Active 66 year old male. All the Best!!!

66 year old male who just had a Aveir Leadless PM implanted 8 days ago. I'm very active, weights, eilliptical, cycling (fast). I asked them to program it to my lifestyle. My groin still has me down, so can't tell you what my workouts are like however the anticipation is it will be positive.

What I learned is it's a back up to your Sinus Node. Like a generac is to your home. Sinus Node ignores its duties the PM jumps in and keeps the arrythmia steady until the SN comes back on board or engages.

Not a Dr, just what I have reseached and what the EP explained to me. I hope to never have to rely solely on the PM. All the Best!
