NEW DELHI: Doctors at Gurugram’s Paras Hospital successfully implanted the world’s smallest pacemaker, known as Micra, in the heart of an 88-year-old patient for the second time, the hospital spokesperson said on Wednesday. This achievement marks the first time in India that the Micra pacemaker, has been implanted in the same heart for a second time, the spokesperson added. “We successfully implanted the second Micra pacemaker on top of the first one without stopping his blood thinners. Special imaging ensured that both pacemakers were correctly positioned and did not interact with each other,” said Dr Amit Bhushan Sharma, Director at Paras Hospital.
