Use of DDDRP pacing device in prevention and treatment of tachy-brady syndrome after Mustard procedure

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2004 Apr;27(4):530-2. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2004.00475.x.

Abstract

A 13-year-old male patient, who underwent Mustard operation for a very complex congenital heart disease (CHD), after palliation presented a decrease of the sinus node function, developing a tachy-brady syndrome and a mild dysfunction of atrioventricular (AV) conduction. He was successfully treated using a DDDRP pacemaker, which ensured a suitable atrial rhythm and was able to interrupt supraventricular tachycardia episodes. Until now, hospitalization related to episodes of heart failure or symptomatic arrhythmia, has not been necessary.
