[Complications and survival of patients after electric cardiac stimulation]

In patients with bradyarrhythmia 1105 operations were performed. Among them 528 primary stimulations were fulfilled with 2.4% lethality, 289 changes of the generator, 122 temporary electric cardiac stimulation. Complications were observed in 15.5% of the patients. Medico-technical complications took place in 5.5%, arrhythmias++--in 52.9%, purulent complications in 5.3%. Long-term results were followed-up in 405 patients within the terms from 6 months til 15 years after operation. Five years survival took place in 64.2%, ten years--in 43%, 15 years--in 27.8%. Complications in remote periods were noted in 27.6% of patients. Great attention is given to timely performed operations and dispensary observation of the patients for the improvement of results of electrocardiostimulation.
