In pediatric cardiology, pacemakers are the most commonly used implantable devices, with epicardial leads often selected due to small body size or congenital heart disease anatomy.
This review highlights the unique challenges and strategies for implanting cardiac electrical devices in pediatric and congenital heart disease patients, emphasizing the predominant use of pacemakers and the need for tailored approaches based on anatomy and body size.

Aya Miyazaki (2018) conducted a review in Pediatric patients and congenital heart disease requiring cardiac implantable electrical devices. Cardiac Implantable Electrical Devices (Pacemaker, ICD, CRT) was evaluated. In pediatric cardiology, pacemakers are the most commonly used implantable devices, with epicardial leads often selected due to small body size or congenital heart disease anatomy.
