Pacemaker Implantation in Bangalore
Advanced cardiac pacing solutions for heart rhythm disorders by Dr. Waseem Nadaf
Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (PPI) in Bangalore
A Pacemaker is an intelligent electronic device implanted under the skin of the chest to regulate irregular, slow, or faltering heart rhythms (Bradycardia, Sick Sinus Syndrome, and Complete Heart Block). It constantly monitors your heart's electrical pulses and delivers micro-electrical signals whenever your natural heartbeat drops below a safe threshold.
Types of Pacemakers Implanted by Dr. Waseem:
Single-Chamber Pacemaker
Carries one lead to either the right atrium or right ventricle to stimulate rhythmic contractions.
Dual-Chamber Pacemaker
Carries two leads to coordinate contraction timing between both the upper and lower heart chambers.
Biventricular Pacing (CRT)
Specialized 3-lead device designed to resynchronize heart chambers in severe congestive heart failure.
AICD (Defibrillator)
Life-saving device that detects sudden ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation and delivers immediate cardioversion shocks.
What to Expect During the Procedure:
The surgery is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. A small 2-inch incision is made below the collarbone, the delicate pacing leads are guided through a vein into the heart under fluoroscopic guidance, and the generator is secured in a comfortable subcutaneous pocket. The entire procedure takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes with a quick 1-2 day hospital stay.
