Abstract:
We observed 4 adult patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA) who developed complete atrioventricular block: of 4 patients, 2 received endocardial pacemakers (DDD mode), 1 an epicardial pacemaker (VVI mode), and 1 patient did not have a permanent pacemaker implantation. Endocardial lead fixation in the systemic venous atrium and ventricle is adequate to provide permanent electrode stability in patients with CTGA.
