Events
There were no cases of cardiovascular mortality or rehospitalization due
to cardiac events. We observed two cases of pacing failure in the IPT
group; however, the devices were not re-implanted. There were only two
cases of complications: one case of lymph leakage at the puncture site
in the IPT group and one case of pericardial effusion not requiring
intervention in the SPT group. No other major complications were noted
in either group.
