Abstract

The implantation of a pacemaker is the therapy of choice for symptomatic bradyarrhythmias. The perioperative complication rate is low. This article gives an overview on possible complications, their avoidance and treatment.

Zusammenfassung

Die Implantation eines Herzschrittmachers stellt die Therapie der Wahl symptomatischer, bradykarder Herzrhythmusstörungen dar. Die perioperative Komplikationsrate ist insgesamt gering. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über mögliche Komplikationen, deren Vermeidung und Behandlung.
