"The surgery requires special training and expertise which is not widely available in our country as yet. Besides, not many hospitals have the infrastructure like the Saifee Hospital which gives doctors a bandwidth to perform a surgery of this kind. There are very few doctors who have the authority to use the leadless pacemaker and I am glad to be one of those few. It was a successful surgery and there is nothing more important to a doctor than giving patients a better life." said Dr Aliasgar, Head of Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Saifee Hospital.
Such leadless pacemakers have recorded a 99.2% implant success rate, 0 dislodgements, and 0 systemic infections during global trials and has reduced the risk of post-operative complications by 48%. The product permits the patients to safely undergo MRI, adjusts the heart rate automatically by sensing changes in the body, and also features estimated battery longevity of 12 years.
Dr Yunus Loya,Head Cardialogy Deprtment at Saifee Hospital said,"We take immense pride in the success of this
surgery at Saifee hospital, which not only required distinct training and capability, but is also a very niche procedure. The post-surgery medical investigation which is critical in such cases was also provided to the patient in the best possible way."
