Key result
A permanent endocardial pacing lead was successfully implanted from the superior vena cava into the atrium via direct passage from the right pulmonary artery in an extra-cardiac Fontan circulation.

Case Report
Can a permanent endocardial pacing lead be implanted via the SVC and RPA into the atrium in patients with an extra-cardiac Fontan circulation to avoid surgery?
Direct trans-venous pacing via the SVC and RPA into the atrium is a feasible alternative to surgical epicardial pacing in patients with an extra-cardiac Fontan circulation.
Arif et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Extra-cardiac Fontan circulation. Permanent endocardial pacing lead implantation via direct passage from the right pulmonary artery was evaluated. A permanent endocardial pacing lead was successfully implanted from the superior vena cava into the atrium via direct passage from the right pulmonary artery in an extra-cardiac Fontan circulation.
