Abstract
Complex congenital heart disease involving Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CCTGA) with dextrocardia presenting with complete heart block (CHB) possess great difficulty in placing permanent pacemaker (PPI). We had a 52 -year-old female admitted with breathlessness on exertion for 20 days. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed complete Atrioventricular block with ventricular rate of 40/min. Chest xray (CXR) showed dextrocardia. Echocardiogram revealed a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Angiography guided technique used for dual chamber pacemaker implantation.
