Abstract
The purpose of this study was to characterize the incidence, time course, frequency, and spectrum of acute and chronic complications arising from dual-chamber pacemaker implantation. This information may serve as a benchmark when comparing complication rates for dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with those for biventricular pacemaker implantation.
