The advent of the pacemaker has opened a whole new dimension to management in cardiology. Although its use has been well described in adults, its role in paediatric cardiology has proven to be equally exciting and challenging. We describe a case of a child with complex cyanotic heart disease who had an insertion of a cardiac pacemaker via the transvenous route, one of the youngest to be performed locally. This article also highlights the pertinent features of paediatric pacemaker therapy, including its indications and implantation technique.
起搏器的出现为心脏病治疗开辟了一个全新的领域。尽管其在成人中的应用已有详尽描述，但其在小儿心脏病学中的作用已被证明同样令人兴奋且具有挑战性。我们描述了一例患有复杂青紫型心脏病的儿童，该患儿通过静脉途径植入了心脏起搏器，这是本地进行的此类手术中年龄最小的患儿之一。本文还重点介绍了小儿起搏器治疗的相关特点，包括其适应证和植入技术。
