Over 99% of patients survive the process of CDI and a percentage less than 33% of complications related to surgery. Complications of surgery CDI may include:
- infection
- excessive bleeding
- perforation of the lung or heart muscle
- stroke or heart attack (myocardial infarction)
- formation of blood pool (hematoma) beneath the skin surface
Once the ICD is in place, there are long-term risks:
- displacement of the electrodes of CDI
- fracture of the tip of an electrode
- broken insulation on a cable of the CDI
- improper operation of the CDI (this typically occurs in response to arrhythmias that do not come from the ventricles. At one point, the malfunction was a very common problem affecting approximately 25% of people with CDI. Currently, due to improvements in the design of the DTC, is experienced only about 5% of patients.)
- wear (erosion) of the skin where it is located the pulse generator
- short circuit or other electrical failure of the CDI
