Pacemaker Implantation in Mississippi: What to Know
Mississippi offers advanced pacemaker implantation options. The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson was the first in the state to implant the Biotronik Amvia cRTP and the world's first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system, AVEIR™ DR. Jackson Heart Clinic/St Dominic Hospital also provides the leadless AVEIR™ DR system. For outpatient convenience, the Ambulatory Cardiovascular Center of Mississippi (ACC of MS) in Hattiesburg, a partnership with Hattiesburg Clinic and Forrest General Hospital, offers pacemaker implantation.
To potentially reduce costs, consider facilities like the ACC of MS in Hattiesburg, an outpatient surgery center. While Mississippi's average cost is already below the national average, some patients travel to neighboring states for specialized care. For instance, premier medical facilities in Georgia like Emory University Hospital are common destinations. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
