Novel approach to intracardiac defibrillator placement in patients with atriopulmonary Fontan: Ventricular defibrillation with an atrial positioned ICD lead.

Transvenous ICD implantation is possible in some patients with an atriopulmonary Fontan. This approach avoids a redo sternotomy for epicardial leads and excludes the need for lead placement in the systemic circulation.
