Key result
Single lead VDD pacing in patients with AV block was associated with complications typical of dual chamber pacing, but successfully eliminated the need for two separate leads.
Why the study?
Does single lead VDD pacing have acceptable safety and complications in patients with symptomatic AV block and normal sinus node function?
Population
35 patients with symptomatic AV block and normal sinus node function

May support single-lead VDD in AV block with preserved sinus function; leaves open need for randomized trials versus VVI or DDD.
Observational (n=35)
Does single lead VDD pacing have acceptable safety and complications in patients with symptomatic AV block and normal sinus node function?
Single lead VDD pacing is favored for complete AV block with normal sinus node function because it eliminates the need for two separate leads while having a complication profile similar to DDD pacing.
Parravicini et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Symptomatic AV block and normal sinus node function (n=35). Single lead VDD pacing was evaluated on Complications. Single lead VDD pacing in patients with AV block was associated with complications typical of dual chamber pacing, but successfully eliminated the need for two separate leads.
