In which method is the transcatheter pacing system delivered?

The transcatheter pacing system is delivered using a minimally invasive technique. This approach typically involves accessing the heart through the blood vessels, which significantly reduces the need for larger incisions associated with traditional open surgery. Minimally invasive techniques lead to shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain, and a lower risk of complications compared to open surgical methods.

These systems can be placed without requiring general anesthesia, as some procedures might utilize local anesthesia or sedation instead. Additionally, while some interventions may be performed in an outpatient setting, the defining characteristic of using a minimally invasive technique underscores the efficiency and reduced invasiveness of the transcatheter pacing system delivery. This makes it a preferred choice in modern cardiac care.
