- Electrodeless stimulation, which has similar efficacy to classical stimulation, gives us more protection for the patient. For one thing, we don't have electrodes, meaning we avoid the problems associated with them - damage or venous obstruction issues. On the other hand, the system, which is only located in the heart cavity, has a lower risk of infectious complications," says Prof. Marcin Grabowski, head of the Department of Cardiology at the University Clinical Center of Warsaw Medical University, in an interview with Medexpress.
What are the benefits of modern electrodeless cardiac pacing, both from the clinicians' point of view, as well as, and perhaps most importantly, from the patients' comfort and safety?
Electrodeless cardiac pacing is the answer to current electrotherapy needs. First, it is a matter of preventing problems and complications. We know that patients with long-standing classical systems can have problems with implanted electrodes. These include damage to the electrodes, but they are also at risk of infectious complications. Electrodeless pacing, which has similar efficacy to classical pacing, gives us more ...
