Lead complications warrant vigilance in pediatric pacing; extends observational data favoring endocardial systems but remains hypothesis-generating.
What are the long-term outcomes and complication rates of cardiac pacing in pediatric patients?
In pediatric patients, cardiac pacing is effective but associated with frequent lead-related complications, and endocardial pacing provides better long-term outcomes.
Silvetti et al. (2006) studied this question.
