Loop recorder implantation in patients as young as 3‐months of age; the benefit of the sub‐scapular approach

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundLoop recorder implants may have value in pediatric patients; however, size limitations exist due to the risk of erosion.MethodsRetrospective review of five patients who underwent subscapular loop recorder implantation were reviewed.ResultsNo complications occurred. Stable R‐waves were noted but could be positional but with adequate diagnostics provided.ConclusionSubscapular loop recorder implantation is feasible in patients as young as 3 months of age.
