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 ...

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 ...

Sometimes, durability is the last thing one might want in a medical device. Implants that dissolve into the body after they serve their purpose save the trouble of needing to be removed. Now ...

A new injectable, temporary pacemaker could help correct a heart arrhythmia in an emergency. This nanoparticle gel can regulate the heart’s electrical signals for up to five days before dissolving ...

Scientists said Wednesday they have developed the world's tiniest pacemaker, a temporary heartbeat regulator smaller than a grain of rice that can be injected and controlled by light before dissolving ...

Roughly one percent of infants are born with heart defects every year. The majority of these cases only require a temporary implant for about seven days to allow time for the heart to naturally ...

When the temporary pacemaker is no longer needed, surgeons remove the pacemaker electrodes. But potential complications include infection, dislodgement, torn or damaged tissues, bleeding and blood ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
