Pacemaker Implantation in Dextrocardia with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries: A Case Report

Introduction

Dextrocardia is a rare congenital cardiac malformation with an incidence of 0.83 per 10,000 births, characterized by displacement of the cardiac apex to the right of the thoracic midline.^, Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a congenital malformation characterized by atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculoarterial discordance where patients are at increased risk of conduction system blocks and need for pacemaker (PM) implantation.^– PM implantation is a complex procedure in patients with situs inversus dextrocardia (SID) and CCTGA because of altered anatomy and operator inexperience. Herein we present a case of SID) and CCTGA who underwent a successful transvenous permanent PM implantation via left subclavian vein for permanent complete heart block.
