Leadless pacemaker implantation in a patient with complex congenital heart disease and limited vascular access

Indian Pacing Electrophysiol J. 2016 Nov-Dec;16(6):201-204. doi: 10.1016/j.ipej.2016.10.007. Epub 2016 Oct 26.

Abstract

Management of rhythm related issues might be particularly challenging in patients with congenital heart disease due to complex anatomy and restricted vascular access. The leadless technology appears a suitable and attractive alternative for this population. We describe a patient with single ventricle physiology who successfully underwent implantation of a leadless pacemaker.
