30-4 Hospital successfully installed a wireless pacemaker to save the life of an 83-year-old woman.

On the afternoon of November 14, an 83-year-old woman with underlying cardiovascular disease was diagnosed with dangerous bradycardia and was prescribed treatment with a dual-chamber wireless pacemaker by the Cardiology Department of Hospital 30-4 (Ministry of Public Security) - the most advanced generation of equipment currently in the treatment of atrioventricular block and conduction disorders.

This is the first case of dual-chamber wireless pacemaker implantation at 30-4 Hospital, and is also the first public hospital in Ho Chi Minh City to deploy this technique, and the fourth unit in Ho Chi Minh City to perform it.

The procedure was performed by Dr. Nguyen Quoc Khoa and the pacemaker implantation team of 30-4 Hospital, under the direct support of Dr. Vo Thanh Nhan, Director of the Interventional Cardiology Center of Tam Anh Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. The team implanted the device through the femoral vein using a catheter, placing the device in the correct position in the heart chamber with high precision. The intervention went smoothly, and the device operated stably immediately after the procedure.

Dual-chamber wireless pacemakers offer many outstanding advantages, including: Minimally invasive procedure, no need to create a machine pocket or place electrode wires, significantly reducing the risk of infection and complications; high aesthetics; helping patients recover quickly, mobilize early and improve quality of life.

After implantation, only the Micra AV wireless dual-chamber pacemaker electrode remains “anchored” in the heart.

The success of this technique marks an important step forward for Hospital 30-4 in applying modern technology to the treatment of arrhythmias, opening up more safe and effective treatment options for patients.
