Cardiac device implantation, including pacemakers, ICDs, and CRTs, can be safely and effectively performed in a sub-Saharan tertiary center with a low complication rate.
Jacques Cabral Tantchou Tchoumi (2017) conducted an observational in Indications for permanent cardiac pacing (e.g., atrioventricular block, sick sinus syndrome) (n=130). Permanent cardiac device implantation (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT) was evaluated on Postoperative and follow-up complications. Permanent cardiac device implantation was successfully performed in 130 patients at a sub-Saharan tertiary center, with a low complication rate including 4 pocket infections and 4 lead displacements.
