Article Synopsis
- A male child, 18 months old, with a complex heart condition and a pacemaker, was admitted due to fainting episodes that were initially misdiagnosed as epilepsy.
- Ambulatory monitoring showed that the pacemaker was malfunctioning in the ventricular lead but functioning correctly in the atrial lead.
- The child's treatment involved preserving the atrial lead and implanting a new ventricular lead using a less invasive, transvenous method, which was connected to the pacemaker implanted in the abdomen.
