Alpay Celiker M.D. Acıbadem University Advances in lead and device technology allow pacemaker system implantation in children and even in neonates Specific problems in children such as small vessel size, cardiovascular abnormalities often lead to implant problems. Physical activity and somatic growth may affect lead longevity in young patients Leads ◦ Endocardial, or epicardial ◦ Passive or active fixation Chamber Paced ◦ VVIR, DDD, or VDD Pros and Cons of Transvenous Leads • Venous obstructions Leads generally more reliable than epicardial • Pace related impaired ventricular function. implants • Lead infections Procedure more easy • Lead extraction Less thresholds necessity Fast adaptation to new • Interaction with cardiac pacemaker systems valves • Impossible in some patients Venous Occlusion: 11 out of 85 (13%) total venous obstruction; 10 (12%) partial obstruction. Age, body size and lead type not associated with occlusion > 3 years . Bar Cohen 2006 Tricuspid valve issue: 27 out of 123 TR increased. No severeTR. No change (63%) or improved (12%). Berul 2008. An inhomogeneous and dyssynchronous electrical activation of ventricles, leading to changes in myocardial architecture and left ventricular mechanical contractions. This problem is secondary to right ventricle apical pacing via transvenous pacing. Karpawich P. Pace 2008 Perioperative Infections (before discharge): Staphylococcus ◦Superficial 1,2 % ◦Deep 0,2 % Early Pacemaker Infections (< 60 days) ◦Superficial 3,1 % ◦Deep 1,2 % species were isolated in 44 % Increased Risks ◦Reintervention ◦Down syndrome ◦Subcutaneous preperitoneal pocket Late Pacemaker Infections ◦Superficial 0,5 % ◦Deep 0,7 % * Cohen et al J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2002; 124. Remove the intravascular and intracardiac lead material Relieve and reconstruct the venous access for the new leads Prevent lead related infection Class I: a: sepsis b: life-threatening arrhythmia c: life threatening condition d: thromboembolic event caused by retained lead ◦ Obliteration of all useable veins ◦ Lead interfereres with the operation of another device ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Cons Epicardial Pacing Pros: Venous access not required Usable patients with compromised venous access Allows left ventricular pacing, even in small patients Dual chamber pacing in small patients Implantation procedure more invasive than endocardial • Surgery required • Leads are weaker • Epicardial: <15 kg Compromised venous access or a univentricular heart Pace the left ventricle Endocardial Possible implant <15kg Venous occlusion Risks of future lead extraction Beware of pacing induced heart failure Epicardial Pacing A substantial proportion of patients with epicardial pacemakers do, however, require reintervention within five years.

Ovsyshcher, Rosenthal and Seiden et al. have been showed good results with this mode of pacing. Late results of this mode of pacing seems to encourage Atrial electrogram amplitude was decreased in children without any atrial sensing problem. Loss of atrial sensing can be a problem in children with operated congenital heart diseases. It may be first choice older children with congenital AV block and normal sinus node dysfunction. VVIR Pros and Cons ◦ Pros: One lead required, Smaller generator, gives satisfactory exercise tolerance, slower heart rates than DDD ◦ Cons: Heart rate response is not physiological, loss of AVsynchrony, DDD Pros and Cons Pros: Physiological heart rate response, AV synchrony maintained, reduced risk of atrial fibrillation Cons: Two leads required, larger generator, faster heart rates than VVIR, pacemaker mediated tachycardia Advantages ◦ Single lead dual chamber sensing ◦ Avoid of many electrodes ◦ Provide AV Synchrony ◦ Avoid of venous thrombosis?? Disadvantages ◦ Atrial sensing problems in postop. cases ◦ Relative change of atrial dipole with the growth ◦ Decrease of AV synchrony with time ◦ Lack of active fixation ◦ Large electrodes ◦ No indication in SSS ◦ Lack of epicardial use • Pioneereed by Karpawich. • Implant possible to desired place • Less material at venous system and heart • Similar results compared to conventional systems • Lead extraction issue? •Long-term results?

Altered cardiac histology following apical right ventricular pacing in patients with congenital atrioventricular block. Pacing Clin Electrophysiol 1999 Long term complications of pacing in childhood include venous occlusion, impaired ventricular function, lead failure, and risks of multiple implants and explants. Right ventricular apical pacing should be minimised where possible. In small infants epicardial pacing should be encouraged. Long term complications largely relate to problems with the leads.
