Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Makes Historic Achievement with Successful Micra AV Leadless Pacemaker Treatment
Thiruvananthapuram Medical College has achieved a historic milestone by successfully performing the Micra AV leadless pacemaker treatment in its Cardiology Department. With this achievement, it has become the first government medical college to successfully carry out the procedure through keyhole surgery. The treatment was performed on a 74-year-old patient.
The Micra Leadless Pacemaker is a revolutionary device implanted directly into the heart, eliminating the need for traditional pacemaker leads and significantly reducing the risk of complications. This advanced technology ensures better clinical outcomes and enhances the quality of life for patients.
The procedure helps maintain a normal heart rate and correct rhythm abnormalities, offering a minimally invasive, safer, and more effective cardiac treatment option. This breakthrough not only improves patient recovery and well-being but also underscores the excellence and credibility of Kerala’s public health sector in adopting innovative medical technologies.
