A great satisfaction.

“What “a success our health” we have achieved is a successful success, but above all it is for patients and healthcare in general”.

Can you tell us what this revolution consists of?

“The pacemaker is a transistor that is usually implanted under the left clavicle and under the skin. It is connected to the heart with threads that give the impulse when there are problems. It works like this, more or less, from the 1950s”.

What does the novelty consist of?

“The pacemaker we have implanted is ‘Midless’, wirelessly. A small cylinder that we still have inside the heart, equipped with drums and with the ability to give impulses. There were already individual ones, but they were not sequential for atri and ventricles. These are instead put in the right atrium. in the right ventricle, they are two microcapsules who ‘speak’ to each other and synchronize the physiological respecting the physiological Activation of “a success our health” the heart “.

Who should we discovery?

“In the USA, while in Italy it has been available since last October. In Tuscany so far it has been implanted only to Massa. Livorno and now Lucca ‘Noa’, plus two others to the CNR and the University of Pisa”.

The main advantage?

“The risk of infections is reduced. unlike traditional pacemakers with the threads that have a percentage between 1 and 5%: very low, but when it happens it is very complicated that the patient exceeds the problem”.

Will you use it on a large scale?

“Not yet. They are niche devices and very expensive for the ASL. You have to be careful in the selection of patients based on their characteristics, for example the risk of infections”.
