The new pacemaker is a Medtronic MRI SureScan DTPA2QQ Cardiac ReSynchronization Therapy Defribillator.
About all I know is it's a 4 wire system pacing both sides of my heart where the old Boston Scientific one I had was a 2 wire system pacing only one side of my heart.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to share this info. Mom sent me a photo of the scar near her collar bone, and I cannot imagine you enduring that without general anesthesia.

lbjSeems we can endure more that we think we can when one's life is on the line.
That's how it was with me.
A couple times during the 3 hour surgery all I could think of was "are we there yet"?

Ain't that the truth. Glad your ticker is still ticking Tom!
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

TMatsGlad you checked in, Tom, and really happy to read that you’re doing alright. Sorry you had to had to endure a conscious pacemaker surgery, but it sounds like whatever they gave you to bite on was all you needed

When I had my OHS in 2013 they placed 2 pacing wires in my heart with the wires dangling from my chest. I "crashed" once and they had to pace me - felt like a ball-peen hammer hitting my heart 65 times a minute. Lasted 1 day. When I was discharged they pulled those wires out, similar to pulling a catheter out of my weiner. Felt good and bad at the same time......
