Popis: | A pediatric patient suffering from Marden-Walker syndrome, a rare genetic disease, was referred to the authors’ hospital for syncope due to bradycardia. Since this disease is associated with severe joint contractures, a transcatheter leadless pacing system (TPS) was chosen. Despite the small body size and complex anatomy, TPS implantation was feasible, demonstrating that it is a safe alternative in difficult venous access compared to a conventional pacemaker with increased risk of lead complications in these patients. |
