Successful dual chamber pacing was achieved by implanting permanent pacemaker leads using an extra‐peritoneal approach to the inferior vena cava in a 48‐year‐old patient with a single ventricle, transposition of the great vessels, and a right atrial pulmonary artery shunt (Glenn's procedure). The pacemaker generator was implanted into a subcutaneous pockel in the anterior abdominal wall.
