Abstract

Advances in cardiac implant technologies have revolutionized heart surgery, offering innovative solutions to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions. From heart failure and arrhythmias to congenital heart defects, modern cardiac implants, including pacemakers, defibrillators, and left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), have dramatically improved patient outcomes and quality of life. Recent developments in implantable technologies, such as leadless pacemakers, bioresorbable stents, and 3D-printed heart valves, have enhanced the safety, efficiency, and durability of these devices. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless communication has enabled remote monitoring and personalized treatment, further enhancing clinical care. This article reviews the latest advancements in cardiac implant technologies, highlighting their role in transforming heart surgery, improving patient outcomes, and addressing the challenges associated with implant longevity, biocompatibility, and device optimization.
