ABSTRACT
Although cardiac tamponade during atrial leadless pacemaker implantation (ALPI) is rare, we encountered such an incident in a female patient with a lower body mass index during multiple pre-mapping attempts. During ALPI, operators should aim for successful single-attempt deployment using electrical pre-mapping as few times as possible to prevent cardiac tamponade.
