A multidisciplinary team within Norton Children’s Heart Institute performed what the institute says is a medical first for the United States: implantation of a tiny pacemaker into a 28-week-old infant born premature with congenital structural heart defects and complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) that led to a slow heart rate.
