What is Pacemaker Implantation?

A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin to regulate abnormal heart rhythms. It sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain appropriate heart rate and rhythm. Modern pacemakers are sophisticated, long-lasting, and allow patients to return to normal, active lives.​

The Procedure (Already Minimally Invasive)

Performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Small incision (2-3 inches) made below the collarbone. Thin wires (leads) are threaded through veins into the heart. Pacemaker device is placed in a pocket created under the skin. Device is tested and incision is closed. Procedure takes 1-2 hours. Hospital stay: same day or overnight.​
