Key result
Late recovery of atrioventricular conduction following pacemaker implantation for complete heart block in congenital heart disease was observed in 3.6% (2 of 56) of patients.

What is the incidence of late recovery of AV conduction following pacemaker implantation in patients with congenital heart disease and complete heart block?
Late recovery of AV conduction can occur rarely in patients with congenital heart disease and complete heart block after pacemaker implantation, suggesting lifelong pacing may not always be necessary.
Raet et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Complete heart block with congenital heart disease (n=56). Pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Late recovery of atrioventricular (AV) conduction. Late recovery of atrioventricular conduction following pacemaker implantation for complete heart block in congenital heart disease was observed in 3.6% (2 of 56) of patients.
