Because its inside the heart, the device needs no wires to deliver electrical pulses.
These wireless devices have some clear advantages for kids.
The lack of wires means they dont have to limit their upper body activity for fear of jostling a lead loose or causing a wire to break.
But implanting a wireless pacemaker requires a catheter thats too large for use in smaller children, the study authors noted.
For this study, the researchers evaluated the implantation of wireless pacemakers in 63 children aged 4 to 21 at 15 medical centers across the United States, United Kingdom and Italy between 2016 and 2021.
These wires deliver electrical pulses that help the heart maintain a normal pulse.
Wireless pacemakers are a newer innovation.
They’re the size of a AAA battery about 90 smaller than traditional pacemakers.
