I’m curious if there’s anyone that has had their Medtronic unit replaced with a Boston Scientific. If so, what are your impressions and experiences.

I asked the very same thing. The Medtronic device is so big in my chest! Still no response. My best guess is NO. Medtronic hasn't kept up with the other companies.
