Although earlier a feared complication of congenital cardiac surgery, the incidence of heart-block and sinus node dysfunction has been lowered to 1-4% due to improved surgical techniques and better anatomical understanding of the cardiac conduction system. Development of feasible pacemaker technologies has further lowered mortality and morbidity. However, pacemaker implantation in paediatric patients is in itself associated with significant morbidity due to pacemaker system failure and replacement. The aim of the present study was to examine prognostic factors of mortality, failure of systems and timing of implantation after surgery in post-surgical pacemaker patients.
