    This suggests more traumatic tearing-type injuries that need to be mitigated by future iterations of LCP technology, as well as improvements in operator technique. Previous studies have associated acute pacemaker complications with operator experience and training.2,4 Encouragingly, the original LEADLESS II study investigators reported a reduction in complications from 6.8% to 3.6% after 10 operator implants.8
