Continental Hospital doctors save senior citizen with Leadless Pacemaker

Doctors at Continental Hospital achieved success in treating an 87-year-old man who was suffering from a life-threatening heart condition by implanting a Retrievable Leadless Pacemaker that works without the wires or surgery required by traditional pacemakers.

The patient was struggling with an irregular heartbeat, a dangerously slow pulse, and heart



stoppage. He also had chronic kidney disease, and a standard pacemaker surgery was considered too risky. 

To save his life while keeping him safe, doctors chose a Retrievable Leadless Pacemaker, which requires no surgery, no wires, low infection risk, and a “retrievable” design that allows for safe removal or replacement if needed, the hospital said on Monday.
