AB  - Background-Implantation of transvenous Permanent Pacemakers (PPM) has become standard therapy
for sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular conduction abnormalities. It plays an important role in
improving quality of life and preventing death in this group of patients. This study conducted on 477 patients
during their hospitalization and eight weeks after their discharge. Complete heart block was the most frequent
indication for pacemaker implantation (48.8%).The most frequent early complications of implantations were
hematoma (2.1%), hemothorax (0.5%). The most frequent malfunctions were lead displacement (1.9%), exit block (1.5%) and atrial undersensing (1%). There were no significant difference between single and dual chamber PPM in regard to complications and malfunctions (p=0.56). PPM implantations in our center are associated with a low incidence of early complications and malfunctions in comparison with other qualified centers. There is no significant difference between early complications of single versus dual chamber PPMs.
