“…Moreover, ingrown fibrotic and calcified PM leads, placed in the venous system for decades, may result more difficult to extract and LP represent a valid alternative in case of recurrent pacing system infection. 111 Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the LP introducer study, so that the Micra VDD implemented the activity mode switch to VVIR to overcome this issue. 112 Nevertheless, previous reports underlined that the heart rate itself contributes much more to cardiac output than AV synchrony at higher heart rates.…”

Complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a total dissociation between the atrial and ventricular activity, in the absence of atrioventricular conduction. Several diseases may result in CAVB in the pediatric and young-adult population. Permanent right ventricular (RV) pacing is required in permanent CAVB, when the cause is neither transient nor reversible. Continuous RV apical pacing has been associated with unfavorable outcomes in several studies due to the associated ventricular dyssynchrony. This study aims to summarize the current literature regarding CAVB in the pediatric and young adult population and to explore future treatment perspectives.cardiac-resynchronization therapy, complete AV block, pacemaker, third-degree AV block, young adults | INTRODUCTIONThird-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) or complete AV block (CAVB) is an arrhythmia with complete dissociation between atrial and ventricular activity, without evidence of AV conduction (Figure 1). According to American or European Guidelines, 1 a permanent pacemaker (PM) is indicated in CAVB, provided that the cause is neither transient nor reversible. Given their life expectancy, significant challenges may be faced when evaluating children, young or middle-aged adults with CAVB, since choosing the best pacing strategy is of paramount importance. Permanent CAVB requires permanent right ventricular (RV) stimulation, which in some cases may lead to ventricular dysfunction due to ventricular
