Leadless pacemakers offer a solution for children with metal allergies who cannot use traditional devices. Transjugular implantation provides a viable alternative for these complex pediatric cases.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pediatric Electrophysiology
- Biomaterials
Background:
- Leadless pacemakers (L-PMs) have limited use in low-weight pediatric patients.
- Conventional pacemakers pose infection and allergy risks, especially for metal-allergic children.
- No established L-PM implantation protocols exist for pediatric metal allergy.
