Permanent pacemaker implantation is a safe procedure with a low complication rate (4.25%), most commonly performed for atrioventricular block using dual-chamber pacing.
Mousa Haji Ahmed (2022) conducted an observational in Bradyarrhythmias (n=396). Permanent pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Early and late complications. Permanent pacemaker implantation was associated with a low complication rate, with 4.25% of patients developing early or late complications over at least 1 year of follow-up.
