Transjugular Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in an Adolescent With Central Hypoventilation Syndrome: A Case Report

This case highlights the complex interplay between arrhythmia and oxygen desaturation in CCHS, illustrating how permanent pacing can restore both rhythm and ventilatory stability. Transjugular leadless pacemaker implantation represents a safe and effective option for adolescents when femoral access is limited. In younger patients, careful anatomical assessment, awareness of long-term device management, and individualized selection between retrievable and established systems are essential to optimize outcomes.

Abstract

This case highlights the complex interplay between arrhythmia and oxygen desaturation in CCHS, illustrating how permanent pacing can restore both rhythm and ventilatory stability. Transjugular leadless pacemaker implantation represents a safe and effective option for adolescents when femoral access is limited. In younger patients, careful anatomical assessment, awareness of long-term device management, and individualized selection between retrievable and established systems are essential to optimize outcomes.
