More than 60 procedures to fit a tiny, wireless pacemaker have now been performed at Ramsay Private Hospital National Capital, as demand grows from patients across the ACT and regional New South Wales. The pacemaker is placed directly inside the heart through a vein in the leg, without a cut in the chest or wires running to the heart.
