Assessing the risk factors of permanent pacemaker implantation following mitral valve surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mitral valve surgery is a widely performed intervention for the treatment of various mitral valve pathologies. Postoperative conduction disturbances may necessitate permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. This study aims to identify and quantify patient-related, cardiovascular, procedural risk factors, and risk score-based predictors of PPM implantation following mitral valve surgery.

Methods

The conduct of this systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses reporting guidelines. A systematic literature search was performed across PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Embase, including studies published from inception until September 2024. Statistical analyses were conducted using RevMan
