Use of DDDRP pacing device in prevention and treatment of tachy-brady syndrome after Mustard procedure.
A 13-year-old male patient, who underwent Mustard operation for a very complex congenital heart disease (CHD), after palliation presented a decrease of the sinus node function, developing a tachy-brady syndrome and a mild dysfunction of atrioventricular (AV) conduction. He was successfully treated using a DDDRP pacemaker, which ensured a suitable atrial rhythm and was able to interrupt supraventricular tachycardia episodes. Until now, hospitalization related to episodes of heart failure or symptomatic arrhythmia, has not been necessary.
