Diagnostic cardiac catheterization may be needed especially in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, to assess the pulmonary anatomy, including size and distribution of peripheral pulmonary arteries. Another important role is for detection of coronary anomalies, which can also be seen on echocardiogram sometimes.

Methods We present the first described case of using two leadless pacing systems manufactured by separate companies implanted within the same patient to provide atrial and ventricular pacing due to complex congenital anatomy. Laser-lead extraction and temporary atrial pacemaker placement was performed.
