Pacemakers are commonly used to manage life-threatening arrhythmias and improve patients' quality of life. Sometimes, pacing system malfunctions can occur due to lead, electrode-tissue interface, or pulse generator issues.

Mr. Alexander Delpalma also had a pacemaker problem. He was looking for a solution and came across Vaidam's website.

He submitted an online inquiry. We promptly assigned a case manager to guide him through the process of traveling to Thailand.

In Thailand, he consulted Dr. Kriengkrai Jirasirirojanakorn, an Electrophysiologist. After assessing his reports, the doctor told him that he had an atrial lead dysfunction in his pacemaker.

The doctor suggested that he go back to the US to address the issue with his pacemaker. Since he originally had the pacemaker surgery done in the USA, it would be more convenient to have it looked at by the same surgeon who performed the surgery.

The patient was happy with Vaidam's services and has returned to the USA for further treatment.

We hope he recovers quickly.
