Key result
Endocardial LBBP demonstrates feasibility in a 3-month-old infant with complete congenital AV block.
Why the study?
Congenital complete atrioventricular block is typically irreversible and patients often require pacemaker implantation early in life.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report explores the feasibility of endocardial left bundle branch pacing in a very young infant with congenital complete atrioventricular block.
Case of congenital CAVB expands known phenotypes; leaves open etiology-specific management strategies pending further evidence.
Congenital complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a rare condition characterized by atrioventricular dissociation diagnosed either in utero or within the first month of life. This condition encompasses terms used for patients with idiopathic, autoimmune, or even infectious atrioventricular block1, typically irreversible. However, these patients will often require pacemaker implantation at some point, usually early in their lives2,3.

Piedra et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Complete congenital atrioventricular heart block (n=1). Endocardial left bundle branch pacing was evaluated. Endocardial left bundle branch pacing was evaluated for feasibility in a 3-month-old infant with complete congenital atrioventricular heart block.
