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 ...

Northwestern researchers have developed the world’s smallest pacemaker, which with its dissolvable nature allows it to be inserted non-invasively into patients’ bodies. Fit into the tip of a syringe, ...

In a groundbreaking advancement, researchers have developed a dissolvable pacemaker that eliminates the need for invasive surgical procedures typically associated with temporary pacemakers. This ...

Ten years ago, astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died not long after undergoing a routine heart surgery to remove a temporary pacemaker. Heavy bleeding occurred when the ...

Chicago — A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.
