Reduction Or Elimination Of Radiation During Implantation of Cardiac Devices Using Ultrasound

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Specialized equipment is required to put pacemakers in the heart. This requires use of radiation to see the wires or leads being implanted in the heart. Repeated radiation use can result in permanent injury to the patient and to the doctor. The investigators aim to investigate if they can use ultrasound to guide and help in the implantation of leads into the heart. Ultrasound is a safe method and requires only a small handheld probe and a small screen to see different structures in the heart. If ultrasounds proves successful as a tool to reduce radiation then this would be very useful technical breakthrough. It would help develop smaller centres where pacemakers can be implanted without purchasing xray equipment and expensive setups.

Conditions
