These rates suggest dual-chamber pacing is feasible with improving safety; leaves open multicenter validation before broader adoption.
What are the complication rates and long-term safety of dual chamber pacing system implantation?
Improvements in lead design, programmability, and surgical experience have reduced complication rates of dual chamber pacing to acceptable levels, making it as safe as single chamber pacing.
Markewitz et al. (1986) studied this question.
