Overview

• A 66-year-old woman at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital received an Atrial Aveir leadless pacemaker implanted in the right atrium via catheter after a diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome.
• The hospital described the case as India’s first successful atrial Atrial Aveir leadless pacemaker implantation, a claim reported from the hospital’s statement without independent verification.
• Doctors reported no complications, said the patient was walking within hours, and planned her discharge for Tuesday.
• In a separate case, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, said it implanted what it called India’s first AVEIR DR dual-chamber leadless pacemaker in an 83-year-old man with atrioventricular block.
• Both hospitals highlighted the absence of transvenous leads and surgical pockets as benefits that can reduce infection risks and offer a cosmetically discreet option.
