Abstract
Permanent pacemaker placement is often indicated in newborns with congenital complete heart block (CCHB). The disproportionate size between commercially available devices and the neonate can lead to delayed intervention and high postoperative complication rates. Recently, Medtronic developed a Pediatric Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG); a very small single chamber pacemaker requiring a bipolar lead. This case report describes a minimally invasive approach for the implantation of this Pediatric IPG shortly after birth in a 2.32 kg neonate with CCHB.
