| Abstract: | We report our experience with an 8-year-old boy with complete atrioventricular block and syncopal bradycardia who required urgent pacing. Each attempt to cross the tricuspid valve with a femoral lead triggered ventricular standstill, followed by fibrillation, and pacing through the coronary sinus failed. Successful ventricular pacing was finally achieved through the oesophagus, allowing subsequent implantation of a transvenous pacemaker. |
