title: [A case of permanent pacemaker implantation in small infant using steroid-eluting epicardial pacing lead: changes of the pacing threshold in acute phase].
abstract: A 1-year-old infant with complete atrioventricular block was successfully treated with the pacemaker implantation using steroid-eluting epicardial pacing lead by the subxyphoid approach. Pacing threshold after implantation were measured frequently to use the function named "Capture management" of the generator (Medtronic: Kappa, Model 701). The postoperative pacing threshold were kept lower and stabilized after 5 weeks.
