Abstract

Biventricular pacing therapy is an innovative therapy for improving cardiac output in adult patients with severe heart failure. However, this technique is not yet used in infants with congenital heart disease. We present a six month old infant with tetralogy of fallot and atresia of the left pulmonary artery in which biventricular stimulation led to improved left ventricular function and successful weaning from extracorporeal circulation.
