Removal of Defibrillator Pulse Generator

The provider opens the surgically created pocket in the chest wall and removes an implantable defibrillator pulse generator. Defibrillators sense and regulate the heart rate by delivering a mild electric shock when the patient requires it. Components need to be removed when they no longer function properly or when an infection occurs. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
