Key result
Trans-Fontan baffle placement of an endocardial systemic ventricular pacing lead offers an alternative to epicardial pacing systems in patients with single-ventricle physiology.
Why the study?
Is trans-Fontan baffle placement of an endocardial systemic ventricular pacing lead feasible and safe in patients with single-ventricle physiology palliated to a Fontan?
Population
Patients with single-ventricle physiology palliated to a Fontan at risk for high-grade atrioventricular block

Is trans-Fontan baffle placement of an endocardial systemic ventricular pacing lead feasible and safe in patients with single-ventricle physiology palliated to a Fontan?
Describes the technique of trans-Fontan baffle placement of an endocardial systemic ventricular pacing lead as an alternative to epicardial leads in Fontan patients.
DeWitt et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Single-ventricle physiology palliated to a Fontan. Trans-Fontan baffle placement of an endocardial systemic ventricular pacing lead vs. Epicardial leads (historical) was evaluated. Trans-Fontan baffle placement of an endocardial systemic ventricular pacing lead offers an alternative to epicardial pacing systems in patients with single-ventricle physiology.
