Young children suffering from congenital or post-operative AV-block require life-long pacemaker stimulation. Due to the anatomical prerequisites initially epicardial electrodes are implanted and the generator is placed in the upper abdominal wall. The following study investigated modes of failure leading to reoperation in this group of technically challenging patients.
