Dr. X. Rufus Demel has introduced a revolutionary advancement in cardiac rhythm management to Madurai by successfully performing the city's first-ever AVIER Leadless Pacemaker implantation. This state-of-the-art procedure represents a paradigm shift, eliminating the need for conventional pacemaker leads and surgical pockets.
The AVIER Leadless Pacemaker is a self-contained device that is about 90% smaller than a traditional pacemaker. Using a catheter inserted through a vein in the groin, the miniaturized pacemaker is placed directly inside the right ventricle of the heart. This eliminates the risk of lead-related complications and infections, providing patients with a cosmetic, comfortable, and safe alternative to traditional devices.
