Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Four-year-old, 16-kg Child

Leadless pacemakers have an accepted role with demonstrable benefits in adults. In contrast, implant experience and follow-up data in pediatric patients are more limited. Clinical indications and patient candidacy for leadless pacing in pediatrics continue to evolve. We present our experience implan...

description Leadless pacemakers have an accepted role with demonstrable benefits in adults. In contrast, implant experience and follow-up data in pediatric patients are more limited. Clinical indications and patient candidacy for leadless pacing in pediatrics continue to evolve. We present our experience implanting a leadless pacemaker in a four-year-old for the treatment of high-grade atrioventricular block. Implant considerations in small patients, short-term patient and device follow-up data, and follow-up assessment of the vessel used for implantation are discussed.
