Leadless Pacemakers & ICDs — Advanced Cardiac Device Interventions

Dr. Dilip Kumar implants and manages advanced cardiac devices — including leadless pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) — that help regulate heart rhythm and protect against life-threatening arrhythmias.

Featured treatment

Leadless Pacemakers & ICDs

A leadless pacemaker is a small, self-contained capsule placed directly inside the right ventricle of the heart through a vein in the leg. Because there is no chest pocket and no leads, it avoids many of the problems linked to conventional pacemaker leads and pockets.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) continuously monitors the heart rhythm and can deliver pacing or a shock to treat dangerous ventricular arrhythmias in patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

Whether a leadless device, a conventional system or an ICD is right for you depends on your heart rhythm, overall health and other factors, which Dr. Kumar will discuss with you in detail.

Leadless Pacemaker

Catheter-based implantation through the femoral vein.

  • No chest incision, scar or device bump
  • No leads, fewer lead and pocket complications
  • Single- and dual-chamber (AV) options where suitable
  • Usually a quick return to daily activity

ICD Implantation

Protection against sudden cardiac arrest.

  • 24/7 rhythm monitoring
  • Treats life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias
  • Combined CRT-D for heart failure where indicated
  • Regular device checks and remote follow-up
What it involves

Cardiac Device Procedures Dr. Kumar Performs

Conventional Pacemaker Implantation

Dr. Kumar implants pacemakers in patients with slow or irregular heart rhythms, ensuring a steady and controlled heartbeat.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)

CRT devices are used to treat heart failure by improving the timing of heart muscle contractions. Dr. Kumar is an expert in implanting these devices to optimize heart function.

Lead Extraction Procedures

In cases where pacemaker or ICD leads need to be removed, Dr. Kumar performs safe and effective lead extractions, ensuring optimal device performance.

Cardiac Device Follow-Up and Management

Dr. Kumar provides comprehensive follow-up care to ensure that implanted cardiac devices function properly, offering patients peace of mind with ongoing monitoring and management.
