Cardiology patients suffering from bradyarrythmias (slow heart rhythm), congestive heart failure or other heart conditions may require a pacemaker. A pacemaker is a small device that stimulates a normal heart rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart. Working closely with your cardiologist, our surgical care team can perform expert pacemaker implants and battery changes in a comfortable setting that’s close to home.
Prior to your surgery, be sure to review our Important Patient Instructions and Information.
Pacemaker Implants
Pacemaker implants are a minor surgery in which a small incision is made in the skin of the chest. The pacemaker is then implanted just under the skin. Is this performed through our Ambulatory Care Unit.

Pacemaker Battery Changes
The frequency with which pacemaker batteries must be changed can vary widely, but is typically every 5 to 10 years. Our surgical team can perform this minor procedure through our Ambulatory Care Unit.
