Urgent permanent pacemaker implantation in critically ill preterm infants

Elizabeth M Welch et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2010 Jul.

Abstract

The management of complete heart block in premature low birth-weight infants, particularly those with hydrops fetalis, is challenging. We report emergent implantation of permanent epicardial pacemakers in the first 48 hours of life in two premature infants (one with hydrops fetalis) with birth weights of 1,400 grams and 1,000 grams.
