Zusammenfassung:The halo-shape technique (HST) is an emerging approach for implanting a leadless pacemaker in scoliosis patients in recent years. Severe scoliosis and humpback made it challenging to push the tip of the delivery catheter towards the ventricular septum using the conventional gooseneck-shape technique. The feasibility and safety of the use of HST in an octogenarian with severe dextroscoliosis and humpback have not been well-assessed. Here, we report a case of high-degree atrioventricular block octogenarian with severe dextroscoliosis and humpback who successfully received a leadless pacemaker implantation using HST. Procedure-related complications were not observed, and the electrical parameters were stable at 6-month follow-up.
