Summary
Leadless pacemakers (LPs) are challenging in Fontan patients. This study reports successful percutaneous LP implantation using novel techniques and imaging in adult and pediatric cases.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Devices
- Congenital Heart Disease
Background:
- Leadless pacemaker (LP) systems are primarily designed for patients with typical cardiac anatomy.
- Implantation of LPs in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), particularly those with univentricular physiology and Fontan palliation, presents significant technical challenges.
