Funding Information:
Thank you to the engineers and leadership at Medtronic for bringing this pediatric pacemaker to fruition, even without a clear market incentive from a business standpoint. We appreciate the parents of the babies who consented to placement of an investigational device under Emergency Use from the Food and Drug Administration under the Expanded Access medical device pathway. Thank you to the dedicated teams of cardiac surgeons, nurses, cardiologists, neonatologists, maternal–fetal medicine obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and others in coordinating care for the smallest of babies requiring urgent early pacing. Thank you to Sofia Hanaberg for designing the graphical abstract. Funding Sources: The authors have no funding sources to disclose.
