Complications of transvenous temporary pacemaker insertion. 1995

The indications for temporary pacemaker insertion are more widely documented than the complications. Awareness of the potential complications allows quicker diagnosis and may therefore be lifesaving. This article provides a practical guide to overcoming the complications of pacemaker insertion.
