Results: In all cases with complications of electrode dislodgement after implantation indicated to reopen the machine to handle complications, the results of handling complications are safe and stable. Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between the events of electrode dislodgement on the pacemaker and the degree of tricuspid valve regurgitation with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01, OR = 8.2; 95% CI: 1.6–42.9).
