Congenital heart disease patients are considered a unique group of patients regarding their high risk of conduction abnormalities, whether de novo or surgically induced, and the challenges in both implantation and management of device related complications. We present a case of a pacemaker-dependent patient with congenital heart disease who experienced complications of both previous epicardial and transvenous pacing which rendered her a non-suitable candidate of both routes.

Abstract

Congenital heart disease patients are considered a unique group of patients regarding their high risk of conduction abnormalities, whether de novo or surgically induced, and the challenges in both implantation and management of device related complications. We present a case of a pacemaker-dependent patient with congenital heart disease who experienced complications of both previous epicardial and transvenous pacing which rendered her a non-suitable candidate of both routes.
