AICD Implantation

In the realm of advanced cardiac interventions, Dr. RR Mantri, a distinguished cardiologist in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, specializes in the implantation of life-saving devices such as the Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD), commonly known as an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). This sophisticated device is instrumental in treating life-threatening arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.

Dr. RR Mantri performs the ICD implantation procedure with precision and expertise. The device is delicately implanted under the skin of the chest, usually near the collarbone, and connected to leads that are threaded through a vein into the heart. The ICD continuously monitors the heart's electrical activity, ready to deliver an electrical shock to restore a normal rhythm when an arrhythmia is detected.

The AICD implantation, performed under local anesthesia, typically takes about an hour to complete. Dr. Mantri's approach ensures a swift recovery, with most patients leaving the hospital within a day or two and resuming normal activities within a few weeks. This procedure is generally acknowledged as a safe and effective treatment for life-threatening arrhythmias, emphasizing the low risk of complications such as infection or bleeding under the expert care of Dr. RR Mantri in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
