We sought to evaluate the safety and long\u2010term performance of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) pacing using the Micra transcatheter pacing system (TPS). We also compared the paced QRS between RVOT, mid\u2010septal, and apical implant positions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>All patients who underwent a Micra TPS implantation at the University Hospitals of Leuven were enrolled in this observational study. Right ventricular (RV) position of the device was assessed on per\u2010procedural ventriculography.

All implant procedures were successful and no pericardial effusion was encountered within the 30 days post\u2010implant. Two major complications were reported with devices implanted at the apex. Pacing impedance was significantly higher in the RVOT compared to the mid\u2010septal and apical position (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Pacing threshold and R\u2010wave amplitude did not differ over time in either position. The median narrowest paced QRS duration was observed in the RVOT (142\u2009ms) compared to mid\u2010septal (159\u2009ms; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and apical position (181\u2009ms; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Implantation of the Micra TPS in the RVOT is safe and feasible.
