Dr. Dan Cortez, Director of Pediatric Electrophysiology at UC Davis, has made history once again by becoming the first to successfully implant a dual-chamber leadless pacemaker in a child. The groundbreaking procedure was performed on a 13-year-old patient who had been experiencing presyncope—a sensation of lightheadedness or dizziness without fainting. The child had been closely monitored for years due to a congenital complete heart block. Dr Cortez sheds light on what went behind the procedure while talking about the efficacy and the significance of the implant.
