Leadless pacemakers may be a viable alternative for patients with complex congenital heart disease and restricted vascular access.
May offer pacing option in complex congenital heart disease with vascular limitations; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
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.
