Abstract

The development of Leadless cardiac pacemakers avoids the inherent complications that may occur secondary to lead insertion. A large number of devices have been inserted in adult patients although data in pediatric patients are lacking. We aimed to assess our experience with the Leadless device in the pediatric population. We performed a retrospective study on all pediatric patients who underwent insertion of a Leadless pacemaker in our center. Data were collected for demographic, procedural, and outcome variables. Nine patients with a median (IQR) age and weight of 13 (12–14) years and 37 (31–50) kg, respectively, were enrolled. The median (IQR) procedural time was 62 (60–65) min with insertion thresholds of 0.5 (0.35–1) Volts at 0.24 ms. All devices were successfully inserted without complication. One device was replaced with a single-lead endocardial pacemaker at 1 year for increased thresholds. Leadless pacemaker device insertion is feasible in pediatric patients. Further studies and long-term follow-up are needed to ascertain device longevity and complication rates.
