May enable endocardial pacing after Mustard/Senning; Level 5 evidence leaves open safety, durability, and need for prospective trials.
Chakrabarti et al. (2009) conducted a case report in D-Transposition of the Great Arteries after Mustard or Senning operations (n=3). Radiofrequency (RF) perforation was evaluated on Feasibility of endocardial lead placement. Radiofrequency-assisted perforation facilitated successful endocardial lead placement for pacemaker implantation in 3 patients with D-TGA after Mustard or Senning operations.
