AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the effective application of cardiac resynchronization therapy to treat a 12-year-old child with mitral valve systolic anterior motion and left ventricle outflow tract obstruction.
- After a surgical procedure to remove a subaortic membrane and perform septal myectomy, the child experienced a persistent total atrioventricular block during recovery.
- To manage this block, a permanent atrioventricular pacing system was implanted.
Article Abstract
We describe the successful use of cardiac resynchronization therapy for treatment of mitral valve systolic anterior motion with left ventricle outflow tract obstruction after re-excision of a subaortic membrane and septal myectomy in a 12-year-old child. In the recovery phase, a total atrioventricular block persisted. Therefore a permanent atrioventricular pacing system was implanted.
