New Tiny Pacemaker Implanted Without Surgery

More than 3 million people have gotten pacemakers in the U.S. over the last 20 years - something that normally means surgery. But now, doctors are implanting a pacemaker so tiny it goes right into the patient's heart without surgery. CBS 2's Dr. Max Gomez reports.
