Why the study?
Does surgical division of the human conduction system combined with valve replacement and permanent pacing control intractable supraventricular tachycardias in a patient with rheumatic heart disease?
Does surgical division of the human conduction system combined with valve replacement and permanent pacing control intractable supraventricular tachycardias in a patient with rheumatic heart disease?
Surgical division of the AV node with permanent pacing was an effective strategy for controlling intractable supraventricular tachycardia in a patient undergoing concomitant valve replacement.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May control refractory SVT via AV nodal division and pacing during valve surgery; hypothesis-generating in case-report evidence.
Stanley Giannelli (1967) studied this question.
