Key result
PPM implantation complications are linked to multiple patient, procedural, and operator factors.
Why the study?
Although permanent pacemaker implantation improves quality of life and life expectancy in cardiac conduction disorders, post-implantation complications still frequently occur.
What are the most common types of complications and associated factors experienced by patients after undergoing permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation?
Population
Patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation across 15 included articles
Design
Systematic review of observational studies and RCTs

Supports risk-stratified patient selection and operator training before PPM implantation; extends evidence by categorizing five domains of modifiable predictors.
Systematic Review (n=37,069)
What are the most common types of complications and associated factors experienced by patients after undergoing permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation?
Complications after permanent pacemaker implantation are influenced by demographic, clinical, procedural, and operator factors, highlighting the need for careful patient selection and multidisciplinary management.
Sugiharto et al. (2025) conducted a systematic review in Cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders requiring permanent pacemaker (n=37,069). Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation was evaluated on Types of complications and associated predictors. Permanent pacemaker implantation is associated with complications such as generator erosion, infection, pneumothorax, and lead displacement, which are influenced by demographic, clinical, comorbid, procedural, and operator factors.
