Pacemaker Implantation in Connecticut: What to Know
Connecticut offers advanced pacemaker implantation options. Hartford Hospital, part of Hartford HealthCare, provides comprehensive services including laser lead extractions for complex cases and was an early adopter of the leadless Micra Transcatheter Pacemaker. Similarly, Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford was the first in the state to implant the innovative AVEIR™ DR dual-chamber leadless system, approved in 2023, and also offers Abbott's Aveir VR leadless pacemaker with extended battery life.
For potential cost savings, consider facilities like Bridgeport Hospital, which also offers the Micra TPS. Additionally, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are increasingly performing pacemaker implantations, a trend that began in 2016, and could offer a more economical alternative to traditional hospitals.
