My guess, well my hope at least, is that this isn't the case.
I'd imagine that the lead/tip scars over into the heart wall and acts like a normal pacemaker wires lead. Then the device itself can be replaced. Whether it be 'unscrewed' or detached from the lead/tip in some way.
You could 100% be right. But I'd imagine this would be very high risk should the device see a premature failure and need to come out.

I've had a pacemaker since I was 7 years old.
The wires are the single most limiting factor for recovery, long-term complications, and subsequently... how you're instructed to live your life post-op.
Over the past 25 years i've had a pocket dislocation, a wire pull out from the pacemaker, and an infected incision. All because I was just a kid trying to live a normal life.
This is something I've hoped for since I was like 12. There has been news about the development of something like this since around that same time.
This is far bigger news than what the article is portraying.

Of course. But this is huge news for Framework and subsequently huge news for Linus to share. Usually he get's first dibs at stuff like this from this brand.
Only problem... well the LTT stuff yesterday.
