Pacemaker Implantation in Arizona: What to Know
Arizona offers cutting-edge pacemaker implantation options. HonorHealth was the first in the Southwest to implant the WiSE® System, a leadless cardiac resynchronization therapy, and also implanted the Boston Scientific EMPOWER™ Modular Pacing System. For advanced pacemakers, including leadless, single, and dual-chamber devices, consider the Arizona Heart Rhythm Center, with locations across Phoenix, Peoria, Gilbert, Prescott, and Yuma. Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona also performs outpatient pacemaker implantations in various hospital settings across the state.
For cost-effective options, explore ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). EPIC Surgery Center in Scottsdale and Pima Heart and Vascular in Southern Arizona both offer pacemaker implants in an ASC setting. Cardiac Solutions also opened the first cardiovascular ASC in the west valley of Maricopa County, a joint venture with Banner Atlas. These ASCs often provide a convenient and more affordable alternative to traditional hospital procedures. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
