Abstract

Patients with isolated congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) comprise 1% of all CCTGA patients. They are usually asymptomatic until functional abnormalities such as atrioventricular block or systemic atrioventricular valve regurgitation become complicated. We report here a case of a 33 year-old man with isolated CCTGA and complete AV block that underwent implantation of a permanent pacemaker using endocardial leads. During a 12 month follow-up period, no symptoms developed and lead-related parameters have been stable.
