Northwestern University researchers have engineered a temporary pacemaker so small that it can fit on the tip of a syringe and be injected, eliminating the need for surgery. The ...

PARIS, France—In patients who develop conduction abnormalities in conjunction with TAVI, attaching a permanent pacemaker (PPM) outside the body for 1 month may be a temporary solution that enables ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves after ...

Researchers at Northwestern and George Washington (GW) universities have developed the first-ever transient pacemaker -- a wireless, battery-free, fully implantable pacing device that disappears after ...

The cardiac pacemaker harmlessly dissolves over the course of 35 days. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) Temporary cardiac pacemakers provide essential pacing for patients with short-term heart ...

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 ...

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 ...
