Operator Characteristics and Reintervention Following Pacemaker Implant – Insights From A National Database

HeartRhythm

Some data suggest that operator procedure numbers and characteristics are associated with outcomes following cardiac device implantation. However, most of these data concern ICD implantation and are limited to in-hospital complications.1-3 The aim of this study was to evaluate whether operator characteristics were associated with reintervention rates following a first permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation.
