Acute Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for the Failing Left, Right, or Single Ventricle After Repaired Congenital Heart Disease

Abstrakt

Use of cardiac resynchronization in children and young adults with congenital heart disease has been described in a variety of anecdotal cases and pooled institutional summaries which report mid-term results. This manuscript addresses use of cardiac resynchronization and/or multisite pacing in children in the acute postoperative period with a failing right, left, or single ventricle.
