AI Technical Summary
Conventional cardiac pacing systems face issues such as unsightly subcutaneous pulse generators, erosion, infection, disconnection, and complexity in connection mechanisms, leading to malfunctions and prolonged recovery times due to the need for separate implantation of pulse generators and pacing leads.
A leadless biostimulator with a hermetic housing containing electrodes and a fixation element, such as a helical screw, that anchors directly to heart tissue, eliminating the need for external leads and simplifying the implantation process by integrating pacing and sensing functions within a self-contained device.
The leadless biostimulator reduces the risk of infection and disconnection, minimizes surgical complexity, and provides stable anchoring within the heart, enhancing patient recovery and reducing the likelihood of device dislodgement under dynamic conditions.
