Conclusion
In our case series, all 8 octogenarians experienced safe and effective transcatheter LP implantations after a conventional removal of infectious PMs. This novel LP technology may offer an alternative option in considering re-implantation of a PM even among patients with an advanced age who need ventricular pacing. Further, prospective, multicenter, larger-scale studies are needed to confirm and extend the current findings. Acknowledgments
