Abstrakt: Endocardial pacing system implantation has been performed in 15 children of mean age 37months (ranging from 1 day to 89 months). Endocardial lead fixation was performed by means of slowly resorbable suture (Dexon) to allow spontaneous lead migration as the child grows. During a mean follow-up period of 61 months (range 17-108 months), none of the patients needed reintervention for correcting the lead length to allow growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
