Design, Simulation and Analysis of a Replacement-free Implanted Thermoelectric Generator based Pacemaker [PDF]
This paper deals with a novel design approach to pacemakers that will enable the implanted pacemakers to be replacement free. The major drawback of the current design of pacemakers is their expiry date of around twelve years. This timeframe is ...

Twenty years' use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheet for an artificial cardiac pacemaker
Physicians can prolongedly use expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheets for fixation of artificial cardiac pacemakers to avoid pacemaker lead displacement. The sheets can also be used to prevent implant rejection in patients with metal allergies.
