The primary purpose of the study is to meet the CMS mandated Coverage with Evidence Development requirement in the National Coverage Determination for Leadless Pacemakers as they apply to Medtronic Micra devices. The study uses administrative claims data of the Medicare population implanted with single-chamber ventricular pacemakers. Patients are enrolled through submission of claims or encounter data to CMS.
Micra CED study is a study of the Medicare beneficiary population implanted with single-chamber ventricular pacemakers, and will be executed by analyzing administrative claims data. The study consists of two primary objectives: estimate the: (1) acute overall complication rate and (2) the 2-year survival rate of patients implanted with a Micra leadless pacemaker. As part of the secondary objectives of the study, a comparative analysis of Micra leadless pacemakers to single-chamber ventricular transvenous pacemakers will be conducted. The analysis will be in CMS claims data and is subject to a central IRB. However, individual hospitals are not engaged in research and local IRB oversight is not necessary.

Acute complication rate
Single-chamber ventricular pacemaker system and/or procedure related complications at 30 days. Acute complications include embolism/thrombosis, event at the puncture site, cardiac effusion/perforation, device-related complication, or other complications following the implantation of a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker system. Subjects' administrative claims data will be reviewed to determine the occurrence of an acute complication.
Time frame: 30 days
The 2-year survival rate of patients implanted with a Micra leadless pacemaker
Estimate the 2-year survival rate of patients implanted with a Micra leadless pacemaker
Time frame: 2 years
Chronic complication rate
Chronic complications are a subset of acute complications that may also occur within six months following the implantation of a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker. Single-chamber ventricular pacemaker system and/or procedure related complications at six months. Subjects' administrative claims data will be reviewed to determine the occurrence of a chronic complication.
Time frame: 6 months
Device-related re-intervention rates
Device-related re-interventions are procedures associated with the insertion/replacement, revision, or removal of either a leadless or transvenous pacemaker system or components following the index implantation of a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker. Device-related re-intervention rates will be reported at six month intervals for two years following the index implantation of a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker. Subjects' administrative claims data will be reviewed to determine the occurrence of a device-related re-intervention
Time frame: 2 years
