May support transmural atrial pacing feasibility in congenital heart disease; leaves open durability and generalizability pending prospective trials.
Does transmural atrial pacing provide acceptable lead sensing and capture thresholds in patients with postoperative congenital heart disease?
Transmural atrial pacing leads demonstrate acceptable acute and short-term performance in pediatric and young adult patients with postoperative congenital heart disease, with steroid-eluting leads showing better chronic capture thresholds.
Johnsrude et al. (1999) studied this question.
