Cardiac resynchronization therapy is a common option in adult patients with heart failure and conduction abnormalities. Specific selection criteria for pediatric population are lacking. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with signifi cant pulmonary regurgitation subsequent to corrected tetralogy of Fallot and single chamber permanent pacing which presented with heart failure symptoms. Careful management was planned by a Heart Team including pediatric cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, interventional cardiologist and anesthesiologist. After undergoing cardiac surgery with complete correction of the pulmonary regurgitation and upgrade to a triple chamber pacing, the patient was discharged in good clinical status.

We present a case of a patient with known complete congenital atrioventricular block (CAVB) since the age of 7 years old that developed dilated cardiomyopathy ten years after VVI-R pacemaker implantation. He presented severe biventricular dysfunction and was symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy. Cardiac resynchronization therapy was used, and he showed clinical and electrocardiographic improvement a month later.
