When it comes to treating high-risk elderly patients, medical innovation paired with expert care can make all the difference. In this video, we share the successful recovery story of 82-year-old Mr. Premraj, who had been suffering from frequent dizziness, fainting spells, and an dangerously low pulse rate for several months. Given his age and complex co-morbidities—including low muscle mass and critically low platelet counts—a conventional pacemaker with wires (leads) posed a high risk of surgical bleeding and complications. Understanding these challenges, Dr. Sunil Kumar Mandal Consultant Cardiologist and his expert cardiac team recommended an advanced Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker (Capsule Pacemaker). This micro-device requires no incisions, no wire leads, and leaves no surgical chest pocket—drastically reducing the risk of infection and bleeding. The procedure was completed flawlessly in under 45 minutes, and Mr. Premraj was safely discharged the very next day!
