A Life-Saving Innovation

The patient, an elderly gentleman, had recently undergone angioplasty after a heart attack and required dual antiplatelet therapy (blood thinners). Due to this condition, his heart rate dropped dangerously, necessitating a permanent pacemaker.

However, a traditional pacemaker procedure involves:

  • Creating a pocket in the chest
  • Implantation of electrical leads
  • A high risk of bleeding and infection, especially while on blood thinners

To eliminate these risks, our cardiology team decided on a leadless pacemaker, the AVEIR. The AVEIR is a small, wireless device that is implanted directly inside the heart via a minimally invasive catheter inserted through the leg.

With this approach, we have avoided;

  • No chest incision
  • No wires
  • No risk of pocket infection

The patient recovered quickly and was discharged within a short time.

Why Leadless Pacemaker AVEIR is Revolutionary?

This technology is transforming cardiac care, offering a safer and more comfortable experience for patients.

  • Completely wireless
  • No surgical wound on the chest
  • Significantly lower risk of bleeding and infection
  • Quicker recovery and reduced hospital stay
  • Ideal for the elderly, diabetics, kidney patients or those taking blood-thinning medications
