A member asked:
What is the procedure for pacemaker replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generator change: Typically an outpatient procedure involving a small incision to access the old device, unplugging the leads and placing a new pacemaker generator into the pocket once the leads are attached and closing the incision. Less involved typically than the original placement.
