Leadless Pacemaker “Micra” Implantation | 合法醫療器材資訊網

What is the Micra, and how does it compare to a conventional pacemaker?

Unlike most pacemakers that are placed in the patient’s chest near the collarbone with leads running to the heart, the Micra is implanted directly into the patient’s heart.

Less invasive — Micra is placed in the heart with the use of a catheter via a vein in the leg, thus no chest incision, scar, or bump that results from conventional pacemakers. Self-contained — Micra is completely self-contained within the heart. It eliminates potential medical complications arising from a chest incision and from wires running from a conventional pacemaker into the heart.
