What else can I help you with?
What complications occur with an old pacemaker leads left in a body after the pacemaker is replaced?
the answer is in the question. if the pacemaker is replaced the leads are used for it.
How long does the pacemaker last?
About 3 years, it fills with blood and needs to be renewed
How many leads may be necessary in a pacemaker implant procedure?
Depending on the configuration of the pacemaker and the clinical needs of the patient, as many as three leads may be used in a pacing system.
What does the term Oscar active fixation leads mean regarding radiology?
It should be Oscor active fixation leads. It refers to the leads of a pacemaker.
How long does it take to put in a pacemaker?
One hour
What is the average lifespan of a person with pacemaker?
7-10 years depending on the amount (1,2 or 3) of leads attached to it and how hard the pacemaker has to work to send electrical signals to the heart.
What kind of pacemaker has leads going to the right atrium and the left ventricle?
Dual.
What is the pacemaker made of?
A pacemaker is a small device, about the size of a wristwatch, that helps regulate the heart rate. The pacemaker is made of two main parts - the leads and the generator. The leads are thin wires that connect the heart with the generator. The leads can be attached to the surface of the heart or passed through a vein inside the heart. The lead is then attached to the generator. The generator is a small metal case that includes a battery and a microcomputer, which is the "brain" of the pacemaker. The generator is sutured under the skin in the upper chest or abdomen.
What is the name of the electrodes that are placed into the atrium and or ventricle of the heart when a pacemaker is inserted?

What monitoring is done after a pacemaker has been implanted?
Once the procedure is complete, the patient's vital signs are monitored and a chest x ray is taken to ensure that the pacemaker and leads are properly positioned.
How do they connect a pacemaker to the heart?
A pacemaker is connected to the heart through one or more leads, which are thin, insulated wires. These leads are inserted through a vein and threaded into the heart, typically into the right atrium and/or ventricle. Once in place, the leads are attached to the pacemaker device, which is usually implanted under the skin, often in the chest area, to deliver electrical impulses that help regulate the heart's rhythm. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and can be done using minimally invasive techniques.
