Deskripsi
Bradyarrhythmia requiring pacing is infrequently encountered in patients with complex cyanotic congenital heart disease. Even though epicardial pacing is the preferred mode, rarely, a need for endocardial lead implantation arises.Patients with cavopulmonary shunts limit access to the venous atria and ventricles, necessitating alternate methods of pacemaker implantation. We report transvenous endocardial lead implantation by an unconventional method in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries after a bidirectional Glenn shunt.
