When implanted with a low pacing threshold, the bipolar epimyocardial electrodes show stable and good long-term results in young patients with a Fontan circulation. Resynchronization pacing systems and the prospective implantation of reserve leads may help to reduce the rate of resternotomies and provide a flexible concept to deal with lead failure.
