The doctors of Advanced Cardiac Institute Raipur, the only government heart disease institute in Chhattisgarh, have once again amazed everyone with their work. The doctors here have succeeded in installing the world’s smallest pacemaker in the heart of a patient for the first time here.
The pacemaker, the size of a vitamin capsule, will last 12 years without any lead. In addition, the work of melting tissue with laser rays to pull out the pacemaker wire, which was installed 12 years ago, has also been done for the first time. This whole case was very complicated in itself. A 63-year-old patient from the Rajnandgaon district had a pacemaker implanted in 2010. When the battery ran out, he got his operation done in Indore in 2020 and got a new battery installed. But this time there was an infection in his pacemaker lead. This caused the skin on his chest to melt and the pacemaker came out. After this, he underwent plastic surgery 7 to 8 times and got new skin applied, but every time the skin was melted due to infection.
At the Advanced Cardiac Institute itself, after doing the operation, the doctor fitted the pacemaker on the left side instead of the right, but the infection of the pacemaker affected the skin on the other side as well. Next, the doctors decided to implant the world’s smallest pacemaker in the shape of a lead lace capsule. This had not happened in the Advanced Cardiac Institute till now.
