Tóm tắt

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) utilization is increasing in pediatrics. These patients are often complex and may require treatment of AV block. Leadless pacing has been associated with a lower risk of device-related adverse events, but there are no reports of a leadless pacemaker implant in a pediatric patient with LVAD support. This report describes the use of a leadless pacemaker implantation in a 17-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and continuous flow LVAD support which facilitated transition to outpatient care.
