Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation after heart transplantation (HTX) may be required due to severe bradycardia. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors, indications, perioperative outcomes and complications of PPM implantation after HTX as well as the underlying effect on post-transplant mortality including causes of death.
