Use of DDDRP Pacing Device in Prevention and Treatment of Tachy‐Brady Syndrome After Mustard Procedure

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 u...

More Information
Summary: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. (PACE 2004; 27:530–532)
