Description

To analyze the useruiness of DDD pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome (SSS), we compared 19 patients with DDD pacemaker and 11 patients with AAI pacemaker. The mean duration of follow-up was 55 months in DDD group, and 53 months in AAI group. The re-operation rate due to pacemaker trouble was not higher in the DDD group compared to the AAI group. Change of pacing mode was needed in 3 patients of the DDD group (a. f. 2, atrial pacing failure 1), and in one patient of the AAI group (A-V block). Pace-maker replacement due to battery depletion was performed in 3 patients of the DDD group. We conclude that DDD pacemaker is desirable in the treatment of aged SSS patients.
