Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) develop complete heart block (CHB) necessitating permanent pacemakers (PPM). Many experience a decline in their systemic RV (SRV) function requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Atrio-ventricular (AV) block is a common complication following extracardiac fontan in patients with double inlet left ventricle (DILV). While epicardial pacing remains the mainstay of treatment, it is associated with high rates of pacing lead failure.

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.

Thrombus can sometimes occur when there is a central venous catheter or a multiple pacemaker or defibrillator leads there that can cause thrombus formation. So a prominent A wave in a complex congenital heart disease situation would indicate that interventricular septum is intact. Obstruction could be due to tumour or even a thrombus.
