“…There are bilateral morphologically right or left atrial appendages. 62 Multiple other anomalies are frequently associated, including usually visceral heterotaxy, systemic and pulmonary venous return anomaly, atrioventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis/atresia, abnormal ventriculoarterial connections, and various electrical conduction system disturbances. Regarding the electrophysiologic procedures, challenges related to vascular access might typically be encountered in left isomerism, which often present with an interrupted IVC and azygos continuation to a left or right superior vena cava, while the hepatic veins drains directly to the left or right-sided atrium.…”

Review on Remote Magnetic Navigation in Congenital Heart Disease. In patients with congenital heart disease, challenges to catheter-based arrhythmia interventions are unique and numerous given the complexity of the underlying defects, anatomic and surgical intervention variants including baffles, conduits, patches, and/or shunts. Remote magnetic navigation offers significant advantages in these cases that may present with limited vascular access or difficult access to the target cardiac chambers implicated by the previous surgical interventions. We reviewed the data available on the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of magnetic navigation for the treatment of arrhythmia in congenital heart disease and discussed the specific challenges related to various congenital defects and repair with the potential advantages offered by magnetic navigation in these
