A series of 37 children < 5 years old at pacemaker implant were followed from 1 to 105 months. Five of 37 patients required reoperation for battery depletion while two required reoperation for exit block of epicardial ventricular leads. Each patient paced in the DDD or AAI mode was still in the original mode at the end of follow up.
