Pacemaker implantation in premature infants presents technical problems
because of the relatively larger size of the pulse generator compared with
their bodies. A new technique with which successful generator implantation
was performed in 2 premature infants less than 2,000 g of body weight is
described. The generator is wrapped in a Gore-Tex surgical membrane. A
piece of membrane overlying the electrical contact surface of the generator
is removed, and the generator is fixed to the abdominal wall in the
peritoneal cavity. The technique is simple to perform and would give
relative ease in generator exchange.
