Over a period of 10 years, 16 children, aged 1.8 to 13 years underwent implantation of a cardiac pacemaker. The most common indication, in 11 cases, was a complete post-operative heart blockage. Two children died without it being able to be ascertained whether the pacemaker had in fact failed. There was a return of sinus rhythm in the case of 4 children. Pacemaker therapy over a period of 56 patient years produced 19 cases with such severe complications that renewed surgical treatment was necessary.
在10年的时间里，16名年龄在1.8岁至13岁之间的儿童接受了心脏起搏器植入手术。最常见的指征（11例）是术后完全性心脏传导阻滞。两名儿童死亡，无法确定起搏器是否确实出现故障。4名儿童恢复了窦性心律。在56个患者年的起搏器治疗期间，有19例出现了严重并发症，需要再次进行手术治疗。
