Hypercoagulability may occur after pacemaker placement; leaves open need for prospective studies on antithrombotic strategies.
Does the presence of a permanent transvenous pacemaker induce a hypercoagulable state compared to control subjects?
Patients with permanent transvenous pacemakers exhibit a hypercoagulable state even without apparent venous thrombosis, suggesting a prethrombotic state.
Ito et al. (1997) studied this question.
