AUGUST 2017 . coverage , CODING &. PAYMENT BULLETIN Micra . Transcatheter Pacing System CMS Approval of the Medtronic Micra Transcatheter Pacing System Post-Approval Study (PAS) & Prospective Longitudinal Study, the Micra CED. Brief Background Micra Transcatheter Pacing System is the world's smallest pacemaker, delivered percutaneously via a minimally invasive approach, directly into the right ventricle without the use of leads. Leadless pacemakers, also known as intracardiac or transcatheter pacemakers, are the first and only pacemakers in which the components are combined into a single device implanted directly within the heart, without any subcutaneous pocket or tunneling. This is in contrast to traditional transvenous pacemakers that require a subcutaneous generator plus transvenous/epicardial lead(s).
