Jigsaw Puzzle : Implanting a nuclear pacemaker
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Implanting a nuclear pacemaker
Pacemaker. Surgeons implanting a cardiac pacemaker powered by a nuclear battery. The battery contains promethium which decays by releasing beta-particles (electrons). These collide with semiconducting materials to generate a current. Modern pacemakers use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries instead. Photographed at the Ivan Pavlov Medical Institute, St.Petersburg, in 1979

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a groundbreaking medical procedure that took place at the Ivan Pavlov Medical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1979. The image showcases skilled surgeons implanting a cardiac pacemaker powered by a nuclear battery into a patient's chest. The pacemaker's nuclear battery contains promethium, an element that decays and releases beta-particles (electrons). These electrons collide with semiconducting materials within the device, generating a current to power the pacemaker. At the time this photograph was taken, such innovative technology represented cutting-edge advancements in cardiac healthcare. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness the delicate hands of these Russian surgeons performing an open-heart surgery with precision and expertise. Their white-gloved hands carefully maneuvered through the thoracic cavity to implant this life-saving device. During the late 20th century, before rechargeable lithium-ion batteries became prevalent, nuclear-powered pacemakers were considered revolutionary solutions for patients suffering from heart conditions. This image serves as a reminder of how far medical science has progressed over time. As we reflect on this remarkable photograph from nearly five decades ago, it is evident that it symbolizes not only significant progress in surgical techniques but also highlights Russia's contributions to medical innovation during that era.
