What Is Pacemaker Implantation Surgery?
Pacemaker implantation is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a small, battery-operated device to regulate abnormal heart rhythms. During the surgery, leads (wires) are carefully threaded through blood vessels into the heart, and the pacemaker is implanted under the skin, typically in the chest area. This procedure is primarily used to treat conditions such as bradycardia or heart block, relieving symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and fainting.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Diagnostic Evaluation:
We begin with thorough tests including an electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitor, and echocardiogram to confirm your arrhythmia diagnosis and assess your heart’s function. - Medication Review:
Our medical team carefully adjusts your medications, especially those affecting heart rhythm or blood clotting, to ensure a safe surgical environment. - Patient Counseling:
We provide detailed information about what to expect during the procedure and discuss lifestyle changes post-implantation. This ensures you are fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
The Surgical Procedure
Our experienced cardiac surgeons at Baskent Hospital perform the pacemaker implantation using minimally invasive techniques. The procedure involves:
- Insertion of Leads:
A resectoscope is not required here; instead, leads are inserted through blood vessels into the heart under precise imaging guidance. - Device Placement:
The pacemaker is implanted under the skin in the chest area, and the device is programmed to maintain a regular, healthy heartbeat.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
- Observation Period:
You will be observed in the hospital for approximately 24 hours post-procedure to ensure your heart rhythm and device function are stable. - Wound Care:
Instructions are provided on how to keep the incision site clean and dry, along with signs of infection to watch for. - Activity Restrictions:
To allow the leads to stabilize, you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous arm movements for several weeks. - Device Monitoring:
Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to check the pacemaker’s settings and battery life, ensuring continuous, optimal performance. - Lifestyle Adjustments:
We provide guidance on managing your pacemaker in daily life, including precautions with electronic devices to ensure safety and proper functioning.
