According to 5 clinics presented in the ranking

Installing a pacemaker is a mandatory procedure for a person whose heart cannot maintain the desired rhythm on its own.

  • Choose a quality device . The doctor installs a pacemaker permanently. It will prevent dangerous rhythm failures and sudden cardiac arrest, so you must be sure of the quality of the device. It is important to choose pacemakers from major manufacturers who test the reliability of their products through long-term studies.
  • Specify the type of stimulator . In medicine, pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators are used. Their main difference is that the pacemaker only maintains a normal heart rhythm, and the cardioverter-defibrillator “starts” the heart even when it stops completely. This is a technically more complex device, so the cost of its installation is several times higher. Your doctor will recommend a device depending on your diagnosis and the type of heart rhythm disorder.
  • Consider all possible options . In large medical centers in Europe and Asia, the cost of installing a pacemaker may be lower than implanting the same device in the CIS countries. This is due to the peculiarities of taxation and the scale of purchases of each particular clinic.

We have prepared for you a rating of the best clinics for the installation of a pacemaker. If you find it difficult to make a choice, please contact your Bookimed medical coordinator. We are here 24/7 to always take care of your health.

My name is Sergey, I am undergoing treatment at the oncology department of the Nordwest Clinic in Frankfurt am Main. I would like to note the high professional level of doctors, the technical equipment of the clinic at the proper level. I want to express special gratitude to Professor Elka Yeager, senior doctor Kiselichki, Dr. Weber, the highest level of professionalism, are very friendly and attentive, the junior staff are smart, everything is super, I’m very pleased with the treatment, if not for one “but” ... Because of ignorance language had to contact the company "Phoenix Service", which is an intermediary for the provision of medical services, led by Radislav. My communication with them began with the fact that before arrival they demanded a significant prepayment, which was timely transferred to their account. After arriving at the clinic, I had to transfer money several times, rather big money. I persistently asked the company’s employees to conclude an agreement with me on the provision of services by Phoenix Service, in order to specifically understand which services and for what specific payment the services will be provided. However, no contracts, as well as invoices with prices, were provided to me, which directly testifies to dishonesty. Only two months later I received the clinic’s bills (with which I completely agree) and separately a bill from Phoenix Service for the services rendered, after viewing which there were simply no words ... As it turned out, being treated in Germany was not expensive, it was expensive to pay for the services of Phoenix invoiced, which either didn’t turn out at all, or turned out to be in the wrong amount and at very high prices. I tried to talk with the head of the company Radislav, saying that I did not agree with the bill, to which I received the answer "if something does not suit you, you can refuse our services further." I officially wrote an appeal to the clinic about the detachment from this dishonest company, to which I received a positive response. He also wrote an official letter to Phoenix with a request to review the account, to which he still has not received an answer. I want to warn everyone who is in my position, those cancer patients who sell everything in order to pay for treatment and live on, but these “phoenixes” don’t stop at anything to enrich themselves at their expense.

My visit was not so perfect, they were not so professional as I wish. The doctor was good but we have large problems with communication and I feel how he felt uncomfortable about it but cannot do anything with it. That is why I denied to do the operation there and only have a consultation They do not know that I do not speak German but only English I want to say thank you to Lesya, her job was good.

On the whole, everything is operational in the clinic, as soon as we entered the girl’s clinic at the reception, they quickly reacted. Professor himself Dr. Med. Barberra took us very politely, took a lot of time to adapt the child to himself, so that he would get used to it, because the child was scared, the professor took a direct individual approach, which is rare enough for a doctor of this level, especially considering that he is not at all a child, even a surgeon, so I want to note this moment, so the little patient, of course, is worth contacting. The doctor promptly worked because he didn’t see the problem in his direction and redirected us to orthopedists where we were also promptly given an x-ray. Nord Clinics Alyan is very accurate in the organization, that is, we were met minute by minute in time, I want to mention Karina, a girl translator, who accompanied us all the time, no delays, no extra calls.

FAQ about Installing heart pacemaker in Germany

Pacemaker - what is it?

A pacemaker (EC, pacemaker) is a device for maintaining the heart rhythm at a normal pace. His functional responsibilities include monitoring the work of the heart. In case of violations in the heartbeat, the device sends an electrical discharge to stimulate muscle contractions.

To date, the pacemaker is the most effective tool in the fight against arrhythmia.

As clinical studies have shown, over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to eliminate arrhythmias. Therefore, treatment should be started immediately. If the arrhythmia has become permanent, and drug therapy does not eliminate disruptions in the rhythm of the heart, doctors recommend the installation of a pacemaker. The device provides constant maintenance of the work of the heart. Devices of the newest generation are able to recognize paroxysms (severe attacks) and block them instantly, preventing them from disrupting the work of the heart.

Types of pacemakers

Pacemakers are classified depending on how many sections (chambers) of the heart they are able to stimulate - one, two or three.

Single-chamber devices are “classic” pacemakers that appeared earlier than others and have 1 electrode. They are installed in one chamber of the heart - the ventricle.

Two-chamber - have 2 electrodes that are implanted in the ventricle, atrium and support their synchronous operation. “Double” stimulation is more effective for the patient. If the patient has atrial fibrillation and flutter, dual-chamber pacemakers automatically switch to a safe mode of operation.

Three-chamber pacemakers are high-tech models with three electrodes that stimulate contractions of 3 heart chambers according to a certain sequence. Such devices are installed in patients with the most dangerous type of arrhythmia.

The electrodes of the devices are divided by fixation into active and passive types . In active fixation, the electrode is implanted inside the heart using a corkscrew attachment. Passively fixed electrodes are attached with special antennae.

Installing a pacemaker

The pacemaker is fixed in the region of the left collarbone under the pectoralis major muscle. Through a puncture in the subclavian vein, the doctor passes the electrodes to the chambers of the heart and fixes the device to the tissues.

Implantation of a pacemaker is carried out under X-ray control, and the duration of the operation depends on the type of pacemaker:

  • single-chamber set in 30 minutes;
  • two-chamber - for an hour;
  • three-chamber installation will take at least 2 hours.

As a standard, the installation of a pacemaker is carried out using local anesthesia.

The operation includes several successive stages:

  1. The preparatory period is the introduction of local anesthesia into the skin and tissues adjacent to the puncture site.
  2. Insertion of electrodes. The surgeon makes an incision under the collarbone and inserts electrodes through the vein into the desired chamber of the heart.
  3. Installation of the pacemaker housing. The doctor implants the body under the collarbone subcutaneously or deepens it under the pectoral muscle.
  4. Attaching electrodes to the installed pacemaker.
  5. Programming of the device according to indications of the patient.

Life with a pacemaker

Patients who have been fitted with a pacemaker have certain limitations in physical activity and the use of electromagnetic devices. Before any diagnostic examination, the doctor should be warned about the presence of a pacemaker.

Restrictions for a patient with a pacemaker installed:

  • you can not undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
  • it is forbidden to work with high-voltage power lines and stay near transformer boxes and metal detectors for a long time;
  • doctors do not allow patients with an implanted pacemaker to engage in traumatic sports;
  • you can’t keep a mobile phone in the chest area (in pockets, bags), long phone conversations are also undesirable;
  • the area where the pacemaker was implanted must not be exposed to direct sunlight;
  • Do not take very cold showers.

After installation, doctors recommend walking and regular health checks.
