Traditional pacemakers rely on leads running to the heart, but leadless devices remove that need altogether, reducing certain risks and recovery time. UMC Victoria Hospital offers this advanced option for eligible patients in Uganda:
- Minimally invasive implantation
the device is placed directly inside the heart via catheter, with no chest incision
- Reduced infection risk
no leads or generator pocket means fewer sites for complications
- Faster recovery
most patients resume normal activity sooner than with conventional pacemakers
- Suitability assessment
careful evaluation to confirm the device is the right fit for each patient
- Long-term follow-up
regular checks to monitor device function and battery life
For patients considering leadless pacemaker implantation in Kampala, Uganda, this approach offers a modern alternative for those who need pacing support with less surgical burden.
