Abstract

This study was undertaken to assess the effects of enclosing permanent pacemaker and ICD pulse generators in a stretch-polyester pouch prior to implantation. Follow-up of 223 patients with oversized pacemakers and with ICDs and 344 with standard-sized pacemaker pulse generators showed that the pouch was effective in decreasing the frequency of pulse generator migration and extrusion.
