Permanent cardiac pacing in children with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) and/or congenital heart disease (CHD) is challenging. Conduction system pacing (CSP) represents a novel pacing strategy aiming to preserve physiological ventricular activation. Patients with CCAVB or CHD are at high risk of developing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy with chronic conventional right ventricular myocardial pacing. CSP may be a valuable pacing modality in this particular setting because it can preserve ventricular synchrony. In this review, we summarise implantation techniques, the available clinical evidence and future directions related to CSP in CCAVB and CHD.
