[The dual chamber cardiac pacing. A multicenter study apropos of 353 pacemakers].
11 cardiac units, among which 5 experienced cardiac pacing are involved in the study. A retrospective analysis of the operated patient is performed. Authors paid particular attention to the following items: indications, etiologies, per operative parameters, complications and programmatic features of the inserted devices. Demographic date: 176 M, 177 F. The mean age of the sample: 58.4 +/- 16.25 years. The post operative complications occurred in 14% of the patients and were favourable evolution, but the presence of an atrial lead generated the half of the reoperations of which incidence was around 4%. (2%) have led to leave the DDD mode. The favorable results, as well at the technical levels as the evaluating level, witness that the tunisian centers have acquired a sufficient knowledge in the field of the conventional pacing and could now born on other problems, out passing the field of the bradycardias.
