Implication

May ease lead placement in complex pediatric congenital cases; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

Children with congenital heart disease requiring permanent pacing

Intervention

Unusual pacing techniques including placement of endocardial leads at open operation, closed transatrial endocardial technique, periprosthetic valvular endocardial placement, trans left superior vena cava placement, and retromammary position via the axillary approach

Consideration of unusual pacing techniques may avoid frustration due to the complexities of placement in young patients with congenital heart disease.
