Pacemaker Implantation in Oregon: What to Know
Oregon offers advanced pacemaker options, including the wireless, dual-chamber Abbott Aveir™ DR system, available exclusively at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) between Seattle and Burbank. This innovative system uses two tiny capsules implanted directly into the heart. For conventional procedures, Providence Heart Institute of Oregon emphasizes tailored treatment, while Oregon Heart Center, with locations like Salem and Dallas, provides dedicated device clinics for monitoring.
Consider Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) for potential cost savings and a more personalized outpatient experience. The Oregon Surgical Institute in Salem, for instance, offers implanted cardiac pacemaker services in an outpatient setting, often with lower infection rates than hospitals. Remember to carry your pacemaker identification card when traveling. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
