Permanent cardiac pacemakers in children: technical considerations. 1976

J S Donahoo, and J A Haller, and S Zonnebelt, and C Neill, and V L Gott, and R K 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.

D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
