I have a Medtronic device currently. I am also requesting a longer-life
battery pacemaker, is that a good choice? I was told the longer batteries can last up to 10 years. My last two pacemakers have lasted 6 and 7 years, respectively. Also, what is the chance of infection for third-time placements? Is it greatly increased? I am in great health other than my heart, am 5 feet 4 inches and weigh 112-115 lbs. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
