Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in Chennai: Advanced, Minimally Invasive Heart Rhythm Solution
Smaller Device. Greater Freedom.
A leadless pacemaker is a revolutionary advancement in cardiac care—a miniature, wireless device that helps regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat without the need for traditional leads (wires). Unlike conventional pacemakers, which require a chest incision and leads threaded into the heart, leadless pacemakers are implanted directly into the heart via a vein in the leg, offering patients a less invasive and more comfortable alternative.
We are among the few centers offering next-generation leadless pacemaker treatment in Chennai. With cutting-edge technology and expert care, we ensure safe pacemaker implantation in Chennai and ongoing monitoring to support your heart’s health and rhythm.
What is a Leadless Pacemaker?
A leadless pacemaker is a self-contained device about the size of a vitamin capsule. It is placed entirely inside the right ventricle of the heart without the use of surgical incisions or chest pockets. This advanced device monitors your heart rate and delivers gentle electrical pulses whenever it detects a slow heartbeat.
When is Leadless Pacemaker Recommended?
Leadless pacemakers are typically used in patients who:
- Have bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate)
- Have bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate)
- Have limited access or complications with traditional pacemaker sites
- Have infection risks or prior lead-related issues
- Prefer a minimally invasive, cosmetic-friendly solution
It is also an ideal option for patients with venous access challenges, younger patients seeking a lead-free system, or those with prior device infections.
Benefits of Choosing Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in Chennai
Compared to traditional pacemakers, leadless systems offer several benefits:
Reduces the risk of lead-related complications such as fractures, infections, or dislodgement
Inserted through a catheter in the femoral vein without a surgical chest incision
No visible scar or chest bulge
Entirely contained within the heart
Most patients go home within 24 hours
Leadless pacemakers provide similar performance and battery life (8–12 years) as traditional devices, but with fewer mechanical and wound-related complications.
How is the Procedure Performed?
Leadless pacemaker implantation is performed in a specialized cardiac catheterization lab under local anesthesia and mild sedation. A catheter is inserted into the femoral vein in the groin (leg) and guided to the right ventricle. The tiny pacemaker is then deployed into the heart muscle and begins functioning immediately.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and does not require any chest incisions or external pacing wires.
Life After Leadless Pacemaker Implantation
Patients generally recover faster than with traditional pacemakers:
- You may return home the same day or the next morning
- Avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting for the first 1–2 weeks
- Resume most daily routines within a few days
- Regular device checkups are done remotely or in-clinic using wireless monitoring technology
Most people notice an immediate improvement in symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or fainting spells once their heart rhythm is stabilized.
