      Eur Heart J. 2015; 36: 2510-2519
      The Micra (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, MN) leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) is a 0.8-cc, 2.0-gauge capsule with a 25.9 mm length and an outer diameter of 6.7 mm that has features of a single-chamber pacemaker system. It is implanted in the right ventricular apex via a steerable transfemoral catheter delivery system using a 23-French introducer.
