Has anyone had a Micra (leadless), wireless pacemaker implanted ?
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.

I had a micra pacemaker inserted a year ago. No issues and I monitor from home every 91 days.

1 ReactionI had to have my wired pacemaker (implanted December 11th) removed and replaced by a wireless Mica on May 5th. Dr said the wireless monitoring was sending bad signals. I was unaware that there was a problem until he called me and told me to go to the ER.
I am now concerned about the monitoring of the wireless pacemaker because I was told to send in the monitoring info every 3 months or so. What if there is a problem in the interim when no one gets any information???
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.
