Permanent cardiac pacemakers in children: technical considerations

JS Donahoo, JA Haller, S Zonnebelt, C Neill, VL Gott and RK Brawley

Placement of permanent cardiac pacemakers in children presents technical problems that are not encountered in the adult. Problems unique to pacemaker implantation in children are related to the patient's size, the relative bulkiness of pulse generators, the lack of subcutaneous tissue, and the child's growth and long life expectancy. Based on our experience with implantation of 27 permanent cardiac pacemakers in 13 children, we have found that the use of small pulse generators, placement of epicardial leads, insertion of properitoneal pulse generators, and use of recharabeable pacemakers are satisfactory methods in children.
