COR LOE Recommendation
2a C-LD 1. In pediatric patients undergoing pacemaker implantation for
AV block, it is reasonable to either target an RV mid-septal,
inflow, or outflow tract transvenous endocardial site, or use
apical LV (systemic ventricle) epicardial pacing, in preference
to RV apical endocardial or epicardial pacing sites.
