Leadless pacemaker
has saved the life of a 74-year-old woman, who had been struggling with severe complications after an infection from a previously implanted pacemaker.
“We successfully implanted the leadless pacemaker without making any incisions or stitches. The patient responded remarkably well and is now ready to move around. She has been discharged just one day after the surgery. She is doing well with no complications,” Dr. Balbir Singh, Chairman,
Cardiology
, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket told the media.
Unlike traditional pacemakers, which require an incision in the chest and lead wires connected to the heart, this cutting-edge technology, which is said to be the first of its kind in India, is implanted through a minimally invasive catheter, without the need for any incisions or stitches.
The leadless pacemaker, 90% smaller than traditional devices, is designed to be more comfortable for the patient while reducing the impact of the procedure. It’s equipped with a retractable design and can be safely removed if required. Designed with patient safety in mind, it also allows for future upgrades to dual-chamber pacing, representing the next leap in cardiac care technology.
