Paediatric pacemaker implant using the transvenous endocardial approach.

The advent of the pacemaker has opened a whole new dimension to management in cardiology. Although its use has been well described in adults, its role in paediatric cardiology has proven to be equally exciting and challenging. We describe a case of a child with complex cyanotic heart disease who had an insertion of a cardiac pacemaker via the transvenous route, one of the youngest to be performed locally. This article also highlights the pertinent features of paediatric pacemaker therapy, including its indications and implantation technique.
