Implantation of a leadless pacemaker in a patient after the Senning procedure—a case report

Özet

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a congenital cardiac malformation characterized by atrioventricular concordance and ventriculoarterial discordance. Its incidence is estimated at 1 in 3,500–5,000 live births, and surgery still remains the treatment of choice. The Senning procedure, which was a major operation decades ago, has recently been replaced by the arterial switch operation (e.g., Jatene procedure). One of the most serious complications is damage to the sinus node and atrial tissue, and over 20% of patients who have been surgically corrected, require a pacemaker (1).
