Calicut, a quiet but remarkable moment in medical history has taken place. Within just 15 days, doctors at Metromed International Cardiac Centre (MICC) successfully carried out five implants of the world's first retrievable leadless pacemaker.

Hailed as the first time in south India, doctors introduced this breakthrough therapy that regulates slow heartbeats without the need for surgery or chest incisions.
