Supports endocardial atrial lead use in young Fontan patients with SND; extends limited observational data but leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Does transvenous endocardial atrial lead implantation provide stable lead performance and safety in young patients with sinus node dysfunction after the Fontan procedure?
Endocardial atrial leads offer low energy thresholds and can be implanted relatively safely in young patients after the Fontan procedure.
