Key result
This report provides guidance on decision-making for implanting a leadless transcatheter pacing system in adult patients with congenital heart disease and intracardiac obstacles.
Why the study?
Lead- and pacemaker pocket-related complications are relevant in adult congenital heart disease, where intracardiac obstacles can challenge transcatheter pacemaker implantation.
Case Report
This report provides guidance on decision-making for leadless pacemaker implantation in adult congenital heart disease patients with intracardiac obstacles such as prior ventricular septal defect closure.
May guide leadless pacemaker decisions in select adult CHD cases with obstacles; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Lead- and pacemaker pocket–related complications are of relevance in the adult congenital heart disease population, and a significant number of those subjects present with intracardiac obstacles potentially making transcatheter pacemaker implantation a challenge. The intention of the present report therefore is to aid decision-making when considering leadless pacing in adult individuals with congenital heart disease and intracardiac obstacles.

Krause et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Adult congenital heart disease with intracardiac obstacles. Leadless transcatheter pacing system implantation was evaluated. This report provides guidance on decision-making for implanting a leadless transcatheter pacing system in adult patients with congenital heart disease and intracardiac obstacles.
