Permanent pacemaker implantation is a major operation, while temporary pacemaker implantation is a minor operation, but is mainly performed through a minimally invasive approach.
Pacemaker implantation is a common surgical procedure in cardiology. Temporary pacemakers are relatively simple to perform, with electrodes placed into the ventricle, and are considered minor cardiology procedures.
The implantation of a permanent pacemaker is more complex and is a major operation, clinically defined as a level 4 operation, which requires a higher level of care from the operator, but is performed in a minimally invasive manner.
Pacemakers are mainly used for the treatment of severe bradycardia, and the main indication is symptomatic bradycardia, which occurs when the patient has symptoms associated with bradycardia and requires a pacemaker to drive the heart to avoid fainting or cardiac arrest.
If there are any symptoms of physical discomfort, one should go to the hospital in time and consult the physician for guidance.
