People suffering from arrhythmia or a heart attack generally need pacemaker implantation. In pacemaker implantation surgery, a small device is implanted beneath the skin. It assists in sending short electrical impulses to help regulate heartbeat.When the heart does not function properly, a pacemaker surgery is required. The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia. Specially trained cardiologists or electrophysiologists perform pacemaker implantation. Fluoroscopy imaging guidance is needed for the procedure. During the surgery, the skin in the chest area is cut and then a pacemaker is implanted in the soft tissues of the subclavicular area. The type of implant used decides the duration of the surgery.Pacemakers usually last 10-15 years and they can then be replaced after this period. Recovery after the surgery is quick and the patient can recover within a few days.
