“I hope that we will live our lives again and be happy until the end of our years,” said Alfredo Almeida, 85 years old, with excitement and tears, after an operation to install an innovative “pacemaker”, as he did without wires and the most small in the world, took place last Thursday at the Abrantes Hospital.
Alfredo Almeida, a resident of Constancia, was hospitalized on the 21st after a traffic accident due to loss of consciousness while driving. He was with his wife, Olga, 83, who suffered minor injuries and is recovering at home.
The day after the operation, an elderly man, a retired military man, was demobilized and now just wants to get well soon. In a conversation with Lusa, he emphasized his desire to “live a few more years” with his wife. “We will be happy for the rest of our years,” he said.
The device implanted by Alfredo Almeida is an “avant-garde device” intended for patients in whom vascular access must be preserved, surgeon José Linder, who was part of the medical team, told Lusa, adding that Portugal is a pioneer in its use. .
