The smallest pacemaker pulse generator and a steroid‐eluting bipolar epicardial lead were implanted in two premature children with symptomatic AV block. Stable capture threshold and high amplitude evoked response electrogram resulted in normal function of the pacemaker Autocapture algorithm, which adjusts output 0.3 V above the measured capture threshold. Autocapture hud previously been used only with endocardial leads. Longer‐term observation is required.
