Medtronic's is the Micra, SJM's is the Nanostim. If you google it, there is a lot out there on both. If you have traditional leads, you are not a candidate at this time.

I have the Micra

I was part of the study done for the Micra. There are also a couple others here as well. About two weeks ago I was notified that the FDA approved it. They also approved it for MRIs as well.

From all of my research, the Micra won hands down when it comes to complications. I've had mine since jan 15 and things are pretty good. I was amazed that it was implanted one day and I was home the next. Had it been done first thing in the morning, I would have done home that day!

You know you're wired when...

You fondly named your implanted buddy.

I am not planning on letting any of this shorten my life. I am planning on living a long happy battery operated life. You never know maybe it will keep me alive longer. I sure know one thing I would have been dead before starting school without it.
