Implications of pacemaker implantation after aortic valve surgery for endocarditis: a nationwide study
Pacemaker implantation after surgery for aortic valve IE is common but was not associated with an increased risk of death, heart failure or reinfection. Although pacemaker need suggests more advanced disease, these results show that lifesaving surgery is not importantly jeopardised by the need for a pacemaker.
