A leadless pacemaker removes two of the classic complications of pacing before they can occur: the lead, and the pocket. The Medtronic Micra AV2 is a transcatheter pacing system implanted via femoral venous access, per official Medtronic documentation, and the AV2 generation adds atrioventricular synchronous pacing for bradycardia patients.
For programme planning, the numbers that matter come straight from Medtronic ordering information:
- Volume: 0.8 mL; mass: 1.75 g; length: 25.9 mm; outer diameter 6.7 mm / 20.1 Fr (item MC2AVR1).
- Lithium-hybrid CFx silver vanadium oxide battery chemistry, with SureScan MRI technology supporting MRI access.
For hospitals building a leadless pacing service, the change is as much procedural as technological — cath lab scheduling, femoral access training and inventory of delivery systems matter as much as the device itself.
