Overview
In this webinar, experts will talk about the latest evidence on leadless pacing and the newest addition to the leadless pacing portfolio: Micra AV. This will include research and feasibility studies, latest data and patient selection considerations.
Faculty:
Lucas Boersma

Agenda
Learning objective
- The results of the latest Micra clinical studies with Micra VR, reflecting the real-world results, 5 years after it was first launched in Europe
- The studies that resulted in the development of Micra AV (the second-generation leadless pacemaker, designed to provide AV Synchrony), which has been recently introduced in Europe, the early experience and patient selection considerations
Audience
- Cardiologists and electrophysiologists not involved in the implantation of leadless pacemakers, but who have patients who could benefit from the therapy.
- Cardiologists implanting or planning to implant leadless pacemakers.
Faculty Biographies
Lucas Boersma
Prof Lucas Boersma is a cardiologist/electrophysiologist at St. Antonius Hospital Nieuwegein and a Professor of Cardiology at the University of Amsterdam, NL. In his research, Prof Lucas Boersma has primarily focused on transcatheter treatment of atrial fibrillation. Prof Lucas Boersma is the chairman of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology (NVVC) Knowledge Agenda Committee.
Prof Boersma graduated from Medical School in 1996 at the University of Maastricht. In the same year he finished his PHD on Ventricular Tachycardia in the Rabbit Heart. He completed his Cardiology specialty training in 2000 at St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein and his subspecialty training in Electrophysiology in 2001 at Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, ES. He was Head of the Cardiology Department from 2008-2016, as well as Medical Manager of the Cardiovascular Unit from 2011-2017.
Chris Pepper
Dr Chris Pepper is Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Clinical Director of Cardiorespiratory Medicine, UK. His research interests include participation in multi-centre studies of catheter ablation for AF, alternate site pacing and the role of leadless pacing.
Clemens Steinwender
Prof Steinwender was educated at the Medical University of Vienna and since 2013 is Head of the Department of Cardiology at the Kepler University Hospital in Linz, Austria.
His main scientific focus is on device therapy and ablation of arrhythmias. He has been and is involved in several clinical trials on leadless pacing, like the Micra TPS or MARVEL 2 studies.
