Barostim placement refers to the specialized surgical procedure during which a trained cardiothoracic surgeon or electrophysiologist implants the Barostim neuromodulation device system into a patient. The procedure involves creating a small surgical pocket beneath the skin—typically near the collarbone—to house the pulse generator battery, and tunneling a specialized stimulation lead up to connect with the carotid sinus in the neck. Once positioned and programmed, the device delivers electrical pulses to activate the body's natural baroreceptors, helping regulate cardiovascular function and ease heart failure symptoms.
