Is percutaneous transhepatic dual chamber endocardial pacing feasible in children with Fontan circulation?
The transhepatic approach provides a viable alternative for endocardial pacemaker implantation in patients with Fontan circulation who lack direct systemic venous access to the ventricle.
Adwani et al. (1997) studied this question.
