In Louisiana and Mississippi, Ochsner is currently the only provider to offer this technology and is one of handful of sites in the United States certified to implant this device. This is the world’s first retrievable, non-surgical pacing technology and is part of the LEADLESS II Clinical Trial. Developed for patients with bradycardia – a heart rate that is too slow – the Nanostim™ device is placed directly in a patient’s heart via a catheter without the visible lump, scar and insulated wires required for conventional pacemakers. In addition, our team was the first facility in the Gulf South region to implant the Nanostim™ leadless pacemaker.

This system allows patients to adjust their medications daily based on a physician-directed prescription plan, similar to the way diabetes patients manage their insulin therapy. In collaboration with Advanced Heart Failure team, Ochsner electrophysiologists were the first in the state to implant the Left Atrial Pressure Monitoring Device. A History of Firsts in Heart Rhythm Disorders Referring physicians across the Gulf South trust Ochsner with their most complex cases. In our case, high standards have led to high volume: We perform more than 400 ablations annually. Our team utilizes all the newest 3-dimensional mapping systems, which facilitate the performance of radiofrequency ablation of complex arrhythmias. Why Ochsner for Electrophysiology of the Heart Care?Įquipped with the latest technology, the labs at Ochsner allow electrophysiologists to perform procedures more efficiently, effectively and safely. Moreover, the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular OMC Electrophysiology Lab has received the American College of Cardiology Accreditation for Electrophysiology.

Today, we are the largest and most comprehensive center for the management of arrhythmias in the region. With three dedicated, cutting-edge electrophysiology suites and another in the works, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostics and therapeutics for patients with AFib and other heart rhythm disorders. Here in the Gulf South, the electrophysiology team at Ochsner is doing our part to keep strokes at bay. According to the National Stroke Association, up to 80% of strokes in people with AFib (atrial fibrillation) can be prevented.
