How Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (PPM) is performed
Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is mostly performed under sterile conditions, with optional local anesthesia + sedation. Single-chamber, dual-chamber, or triple-chamber systems are selected according to indications, and leadless pacemakers can also be used if applicable. Usually, leads are inserted under image guidance, thresholds are tested and fixed, and after connecting the generator, it is placed in a subcutaneous pocket and sutured. Postoperative monitoring includes heart rhythm and incision, and program settings and imaging evaluation are completed. The goal is to maintain sufficient heart rate and atrioventricular coordination. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
