Permanent endocardial pacing in pediatric patients.

D L Hayes, D R Holmes, J D Maloney

    The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Transvenous endocardial pacing offers a safer, more reliable cardiac pacing solution for pediatric patients compared to epicardial systems. This approach demonstrates a lower reoperation rate, enhancing lead system survival and enabling flexible pacing options.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Pediatric cardiac pacing requires reliable and safe lead systems.
    • Technological advancements have introduced smaller pulse generators and improved endocardial lead fixation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and safety of transvenous endocardial pacing versus epicardial pacing in pediatric patients.
    • To evaluate lead system survival and reoperation rates in pediatric cardiac pacing.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 18 pediatric patients undergoing permanent transvenous cardiac pacing (April 1977 - January 1981).
    • Comparison with 22 pediatric patients who received ventricular-demand epicardial pacing systems during the same period.
    • Follow-up assessment of reoperation rates and pacing stability.

    Main Results:

    • Transvenous endocardial pacing showed an 11% reoperation rate over a mean follow-up of 18.8 months.
    • Epicardial pacing systems had a significantly higher reoperation rate of 32%.
    • Stable pacing was achieved in complex cases, including dual-chamber systems and transposition of the great vessels.

    Conclusions:

    • Transvenous endocardial pacing is the preferred method for pediatric cardiac pacing due to superior lead system survival.
    • This technique facilitates atrial or atrioventricular sequential pacing, offering greater flexibility.
    • Improved technology enhances the safety and reliability of pacing in young patients.
