Reply to Georgia doctor implants one of the first wireless, dual chamber pacemakers: New type of pacemaker is safer option than traditional surgery by universityofga
We have been implanting these devices for years now, so this is actually not new info. The Medtronic Micra is already on it's second model, and Abbott Medical just released the Aveir, their version of this. It is not a one size fits all replacement for traditional pacemakers, and can only be used for certain rhythm indications.

Yes, my practice has already implanted a few of them thus far. The atrial leadless is not yet FDA approved, but hopefully within the next year.
