Abstract

This is a case of a 2.7-year-old girl with trisomy 21 and double outlet right ventricle who underwent epicardial pacemaker system placement for a surgical atrioventricular block and achieved atrioventricular conduction recovery immediately after residual ventricular septal defect closure. Although ventricular pacing ratio was 100% before re-operation, it declined to approximately 25% on the 6th post-operative day and was <1% 3 years after re-operation.
