Why the study?
Does the implantation of transvenous active fixation pacing leads result in successful ventricular pacing in patients with congenital cardiac abnormalities?
Does the implantation of transvenous active fixation pacing leads result in successful ventricular pacing in patients with congenital cardiac abnormalities?
Transvenous active fixation pacing leads can be successfully utilized for long-term ventricular pacing in patients with complex congenital cardiac abnormalities.
Supports feasibility in select congenital cases; leaves open long-term safety, durability, and broader applicability.
Improved techniques of transvenous pacing have made it possible to use this approach in various congenital cardiac abnormalities. Transvenous active fixation pacing leads were implanted in seven patients aged 15 to 81 years with abnormal venous, atrioventricular, or ventriculoarterial connections with successful ventricular pacing.
