[Bicameral stimulation in a case of corrected transposition of the great vessels]

A patient with Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CTGA), mild incompetence of left A-V valve, complete atrioventricular block without associated anatomic lesions, in whom a bicameral permanent pace maker has been implanted, is described. The procedure of implantation did not present any particular problem; the stability of the electrocatheters was good. The exercise tolerance with DDD mode stimulation was normal and definitively better as compared to that achieved with ventricular stimulation at progressively higher stimulation frequency. The patient is now well and attending a normal physical activity.
