Abstract

Abstract: We describe a 56‐year‐old male with transposition of the great arteries and Mustard repair, superior vena cava obstruction, atrial fibrillation, and progressive deterioration of his epicardial lead performance. We were successful in deploying of Micra (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) at the septo‐apical area of his nonsystemic ventricle in a stable position with satisfactory pacing and sensing thresholds.
