Why the study?
Does a novel pediatric pacemaker provide safe and effective pacing in neonates and infants?
Does a novel pediatric pacemaker provide safe and effective pacing in neonates and infants?
A novel pediatric pacemaker offers a safe and viable alternative to standard-size generators for neonates and infants.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support miniaturized pacing in neonates and infants; leaves open need for randomized trials on long-term outcomes.
The pediatric implantable pulse generator can be safely implanted in neonates and infants. This multicenter report demonstrates that the devices remain stable, with effective pacing, normal electrical parameters, and battery longevity aligned with projections. This novel pediatric pacemaker provides a viable alternative to standard-size generators and addresses a vital unmet need for these small patients.
