In a nationwide analysis, we report a significant decline in CIED implantation between 2005 and 2019 in ACHD patients. This may either be due to a greater proportion of hospitalizations resulting from other complications of ACHD or reflect a declining need for CIED due to advances in medical/surgical therapies. Future prospective studies are needed to elucidate this trend further.
