Risks and Complications of Pacemaker Surgery
While pacemaker implantation is generally safe, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks.
Common Pacemaker Surgery Risks
- Infection Risk: Infection may occur at the incision site or around the pacemaker, though this is rare with proper care.
- Lead Dislodgement: Leads (wires) can shift from their position in the heart, requiring adjustment.
