Implantable Loop Recorder insertion and explant

Dr. Chabok specializes in Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) insertion and explant, a minimally invasive procedure used for long-term heart rhythm monitoring in patients with unexplained fainting, dizziness, palpitations, or suspected arrhythmias.

✅ What is an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR)?

• A small device implanted just under the skin of the chest.
• Continuously records heart activity to detect irregular rhythms.
• Can be manually activated by the patient or automatically triggered by the device.
• Provides valuable data for diagnosing conditions like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and other arrhythmias.

✅ ILR Insertion Procedure:

• A quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia.
• A small incision is made to place the device under the skin.
• The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes with no need for hospital admission.

✅ ILR Explant (Removal):

• Performed when monitoring is no longer needed or the device reaches its end of battery life (typically 3 years).
• A small incision is made to remove the device.
• Quick recovery with minimal discomfort.

✅ Why Choose an ILR?

• Continuous heart monitoring without the need for external devices.
• Helps diagnose hidden arrhythmias that may not be detected by short-term tests.
• Improves treatment decisions by providing long-term heart rhythm data.

Dr. Chabok provides expert ILR insertion and removal, ensuring precise diagnosis and effective management of heart rhythm disorders. ❤️
