Abstract

RETRACTION: A. Bahbah, J. Sengupta, M. Kapphahn-Bergs, D. Witt, E. Zishiri, S. Sharkey, D. Strepkos, M. Alexandrou, R. Abdelhadi, and R. Hauser, “A Comparison of Procedure-Related Adverse Events Between Two Right Ventricular Leadless Pacemakers,” Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 35, no. 12 (2024): 2397-2401, https://doi.org/10.1111/jce.16458.

The above article, published online on 13 October 2024 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Bradley P. Knight; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The authors were informed by the manufacturer that product performance reports had been insufficiently labelled. Upon review, the authors discovered that this had led to the inclusion of incorrect Micra VR MAUDE reports relative to the reported number of Micra VR Implants. The authors shared this information with the journal and produced corrections for their article. However, the journal has determined that the necessary corrections would fundamentally alter the article's reporting and conclusions. As such, the retraction has been agreed to because these major errors compromise the conclusions reported in this article. The authors have stated their intention to submit a revised version of the article for consideration by the journal.
