Three-dimensional-mapping-guided permanent conduction system pacing in paediatric patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries

EuropacePublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Three-dimensional-EAM-guided LVCSP preserved RV systolic function in paediatric patients with CCTGA and AVB after short-term follow-up.

Study context

Population
Paediatric congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) patients with complete/advanced atrioventricular block (AVB)4 with prior epicardial pacing
Participants
7 patients
Outcome
Preservation of systemic RV systolic function (3D EF, FAC, RV GLS)
Follow-up
1-year follow-up
Methodological detailsAge 15 (9-17) years, median (25th-75th centiles), 5 DDD, 2 VVIR
  • Age 15 (9-17) years, median (25th-75th centiles)
  • 5 DDD, 2 VVIR

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Systemic RV function

All patients had normal right ventricle (RV) ejection fraction (EF)

>45%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

QRS duration · 1-year follow-up

No significant change vs baseline; shortened vs prior epicardial pacing

Lead parameters · 1-year follow-up

Remained acceptable despite increased ventricular threshold

Ventricular pacing

Ventricular pacing
>90%

Safety

No acute/chronic complications occurred
