Treatment with a novel, minimally invasive brain pacemaker cut seizure frequency by at least 50% in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, new research shows. The meta-analysis examined data ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...

This experimental prototype is the smallest in the world. It can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves when it is no longer needed. Its size is very suitable for babies with heart defects.

This week Cambridge Consultants unveiled a semi-leadless pacemaker it designed for start-up EBR Systems. The device, called Wireless Cardiac Stimulation system (WiCS), includes a leadless electrode ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

Leadless pacemaker technology represents a significant advancement in cardiac rhythm management, eliminating the need for transvenous leads and reducing many of the complications associated with ...

Though a Northwestern-developed quarter-size dissolvable pacemaker worked well in pre-clinical animal studies, cardiac surgeons asked if it was possible to make the device smaller. To reduce the size ...
