Abstract
Successful dual chamber pacing was achieved by implanting permanent pa cemaker leads using an extra-peritoneal approach to the inferior vena cava in a 48-year-old patient with a single ventricle, transposition o f the great vessels, and a right atrial pulmonary artery shunt (Glenn' s procedure). The pacemaker generator was implanted into a subcutaneou s pocket in the anterior abdominal wall.
