A new qualitative implantation of a wireless, nano-sized heart pacemaker device
The IMC's Cardiac Team successfully performed a new qualitative implantation of a wireless, nano-sized heart pacemaker device that is slightly larger than a vitamin capsule, using a state-of-the-art nanotechnology to regulate and help control the heart beats. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia by means of a catheter insertion technique at the femoral vein level, without performing any incision or surgical pocket in the chest area or using any sternal wires. No pain, suffering or post-operative inflammation risks will, however, be experienced after the completion of procedure. The movement of the patient's upper body will not be restricted as well, thus enjoying freedom of movement and performance of normal activities once discharged from the hospital only one day after the surgery.
