米兰体育 has launched a new leadless pacemaker programme for patients with bradycardia, led by consultant cardiologist Professor Tom Wong.?
Bradycardia is a heart rhythm disorder where the heart beats too slowly, which may cause those affected to feel tired, dizzy, and short of breath.?
Micra? is the world’s smallest pacemaker, designed to treat bradycardia. Unlike traditional pacemakers, it leaves no bump under the skin, no chest scar, and requires no lead.??
Micra? is implanted through a catheter, which is placed in a vein in the upper thigh. Once placed, the pacemaker is completely self-contained within the heart and provides the therapy needed without a visible or physical reminder of a medical device.?
Patients who have Micra? implanted may benefit from fewer post-implant activity restrictions and medical complications than those with traditional pacemakers. Micra? can last for up to 18 years, depending on your heart condition and how often your device is delivering therapy.?
Patients at 米兰体育 will have their Micra? device placed in a 45-60 minute procedure and can go home same day.??
