The conventional pace maker until now required that the body has to cut, a pocket has to be created in the body for the pace maker and the wiring.
But a new pace maker without wires can be inserted intravenous, no surgery. That means lesser complications and lesser infection deaths.
A miniaturised, wireless pacemaker that can be inserted into the body without invasive surgery has been given approval for use in the European Union.
Developed by US start-up Nanostim, the device is designed to be implanted intravenously directly in the heart.
It is less than 10% of the size of a conventional pacemaker and uses a built-in battery.
The pace maker surgery is now quick and easy:
