World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2011 Jul 1;2(3):424-9. doi: 10.1177/2150135111406937.

Abstract

Use of cardiac resynchronization in children and young adults with congenital heart disease has been described in a variety of anecdotal cases and pooled institutional summaries which report mid-term results. This manuscript addresses use of cardiac resynchronization and/or multisite pacing in children in the acute postoperative period with a failing right, left, or single ventricle.

Keywords: congenital heart disease (CHD); intensive care; pacing; pediatric; resynchronization/biventricular.
