| Abstract: | A technique for epicardial pacemaker implantation is described. A single incision is utilized through which the electrode and power pack are implanted. Twelve infants and children were operated on in the last four years using this procedure. The marked improvement in cosmetic appearance and the relative ease in module replacement are major advantages of this method. |
