Physiologic pacing in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with electroanatomic mapping guidance: a case report
The case underscores the heightened risks faced by cc-TGA patients, with a focus on systemic right ventricular dysfunction and pacing-induced ventricular dysfunction. In these patients, ventricular synchrony is critical and can be achieved with biventricular pacing. Physiologic pacing emerges as a promising alternative to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), especially in cases where endovascular CRT is unfeasible. This case demonstrates the utilization of 3D electro-anatomical mapping for achieving successful physiologic pacing in complex congenital heart lesions. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient presented with stable clinical status and a narrow QRS complex. Echocardiography indicated improvement in the right systemic ventricular function.
