Baptist Cardiovascular Services, a division of Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., now provides the Revo MRI™ SureScan® pacing system. This is the first MR-Conditional pacing system designed, tested and FDA approved for use in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment. Prior to the Revo MRI SureScan pacing system, MRI procedures for patients with implanted pacemakers were not recommended because these patients might face serious complications, such as interference with pacemaker operation, damage to system components, lead or pacemaker dislodgement or change in pacing capture threshold.
"MRI is a key diagnostic tool and patients need access to it. This pacemaker makes it possible to have this diagnostic test," said Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist Michael Bensler, MD, with Baptist Cardiology Clinic. "Revo MRI is a landmark technology in pacing care and provides safer access to MRI for our patients."
