Figure 2: Summary of the different temporary pacemakers related
complications. All pacemaker related complications, including lead
dislodgement and venous thromboembolism, were more frequently
encountered in the BTTP group than the TPPM group. BTTP: Balloon tipped
temporary pacemaker, TPPM: Temporary permanent pacemaker
Central Illustration: TPPM are associated with better safety and
healthcare utilization outcomes compared to BTTP. BTTP: Balloon tipped
