Abstrakt: Objective: The need for permanent pacemaker (PPM) for iatrogenic atrioventricular block (AVB) after congenital heart surgery is approximately 1%. We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with PPM for iatrogenic AVB and compare them with patients with an optimal repair (trivial/no residual) Residual Lesion Score (RLS) Class 1 repair without PPM need.
Methods: We reviewed 183 patients discharged with PPM for iatrogenic AVB from 2011 to 2022. Patients who survived to discharge with >30 days of follow-up were matched 1:1 with a cohort of patients categorized as RLS Class 1 on the basis of fundamental diagnosis and primary procedure.
Results: Median age at PPM placement was 1.4 years (interquartile range, 4.3 months to 3.9 years). The cumulative incidence of moderate or greater ventricular dysfunction at 1 year and 5 years was 11% and 18% in patients with PPM, respectively, compared with 3% and 7% in patients categorized as RLS Class 1 (subdistribution hazard ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-6.1; P = .022). Independently, patients with PPM with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (P = .027) and who had undergone Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Mortality Category 5 procedures (P = .033) were at greater risk of ventricular dysfunction. Transplant-free survival at 1 year and 5 years was 94% and 89% in patients with PPM, respectively, compared with 98% and 97% in patients categorized as RLS Class 1 (P = .044). In addition, patients with PPM with palliated circulation had significantly lower transplant-free survival (P < .001).
Conclusions: Compared with patients with an optimal repair without PPM, patients with PPM for iatrogenic AVB are at greater risk of developing moderate or greater ventricular dysfunction and have lower transplant-free survival.
