| Popis: | Background Epicardial pacemaker is the preferred method for newborns and children under 10 kg of weight. However, its placement presents a high rate of premature failure. Case report The case of an infant requiring placement of pacemaker by congenital atrioventricular block with prenatal diagnosis is described. The patient showed critical stenosis of the superior vena cava as a complication. Interventional resolution using a stent at the site of stenosis corrected the superior vena cava syndrome effectively. Conclusions This case represents a clinically viable alternative for the treatment of superior vena cava syndrome, which can be used after other conventional therapies have failed. |
