J Pharm Bioallied Sci. 2024 Jul;16(Suppl 3):S2712-S2714. doi: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_419_24. Epub 2024 Jul 31.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and reopen the drive procedure of early complications of electrode dislodgement in patients with an indication for permanent pacemaker implantation at the Vietnam National Heart Institute.

Methods: This is a study on patients who received permanent pacemaker implantation at the Vietnam National Heart Institute during the period from August 1, 2019 to March 30, 2020.

Results: In all cases with complications of electrode dislodgement after implantation indicated to reopen the machine to handle complications, the results of handling complications are safe and stable.

Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between the events of electrode dislodgement on the pacemaker and the degree of tricuspid valve regurgitation with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01, OR = 8.2; 95% CI: 1.6-42.9).

Keywords: Early complication; electrode dislodgement; permanent pacemaker implantation.
