Training Session on Next-Generation Leadless Pacemaker Technology

At HVS Hospitals, we believe that advancing patient care begins with continuous learning. We recently hosted an exclusive educational training session for our cardiologists and Cath Lab team to explore the latest innovations in leadless pacemaker technology.

The session provided an insightful hands-on learning experience, reinforcing our commitment to improving cardiovascular care through innovation, clinical excellence, and continuous medical education.

Understanding the Future of Cardiac Pacing

The training focused on advanced leadless pacemaker technology, including the latest innovations in the DUAL Chamber leadless pacemaker platform, which represents a significant advancement in cardiac rhythm management.

Unlike conventional pacemakers, leadless systems offer significant patient benefits like ‘no chest scars’, no restricted movements, and fewer complications post-procedure. The new system also offers long-term retrievability, enhanced battery life, and the ability to offer all therapy benefits to bradycardia patients.

These innovations have the potential to simplify procedures while supporting improved patient outcomes in appropriately selected cases.

Our cardiology specialists gained valuable insights into patient selection, implantation techniques, device functionality, and the evolving role of leadless pacing in modern cardiovascular medicine.

From Failing Heart to Beating Strong: A Historic First at HVS Symbiosis

At HVS Symbiosis, history was created with a groundbreaking cardiac procedure that has set a new benchmark in India’s healthcare journey.

A 78-year old gentleman, struggling with only 25% heart function, severe blockages in his coronary arteries, and a leaking mitral valve, faced an extremely high risk for conventional open-heart surgery. His condition was critical, and conventional treatment options offered little hope. In a first-of-its-kind approach in India, our expert team of interventional cardiologists executed a carefully planned two-step, minimally invasive treatment:

1. Coronary Stenting – Life-saving stents were placed to open his severely blocked arteries and restore blood flow.

2. MyCLIP TEER Procedure – Using the innovative MyCLIP Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER) technology, the leaking mitral valve was sealed without the need for open-heart surgery.

This pioneering treatment offers a ray of hope to countless patients who are too frail for conventional valve surgery. Within days of the procedure, the patient experienced remarkable recovery – breathing freely, regaining strength and reclaiming his quality of life.

At HVS Hospitals, this milestone reflects our commitment to bringing the world’s most advanced cardiac solutions to India. The successful integration of cutting-edge stent therapy with MyCLIP TEER showcases what modern medicine can achieve – extending life, improving outcomes and giving patients a chance at renewed health.
