Doctors in India perform first incision-free surgery to implant leadless pacemaker

Doctors at Max Super Speciality Hospital in India successfully performed the country's first incision-free surgery to implant a leadless pacemaker in a 74-year-old woman. She had developed a severe infection from a previously implanted device. The innovative procedure involved the AVEIR VR leadless pacemaker, which is implanted through a catheter without any incisions. This method reduces recovery time and complications compared to traditional pacemakers, which require surgical cuts. The patient is recovering well and was discharged just one day after the surgery. The leadless pacemaker is smaller and designed for greater comfort, with a unique feature that allows for safe removal if necessary.
