Key result
Temporary pacing mode impacted the assessment of mitral regurgitation severity, influencing perioperative decision-making after intracardiac repair.
Why the study?
Temporary pacing maintains hemodynamic stability in life-threatening arrhythmias after cardiac surgery, but its role as a potential pitfall in evaluating mitral regurgitation is highlighted.
Does temporary pacing mode affect the assessment of mitral regurgitation severity in a patient post-intracardiac repair for AVSD?

Does temporary pacing mode affect the assessment of mitral regurgitation severity in a patient post-intracardiac repair for AVSD?
Temporary pacing mode post-cardiopulmonary bypass can artificially alter the echocardiographic assessment of mitral regurgitation severity, potentially misleading perioperative decision-making.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Clinicians should consider pacing mode when grading mitral regurgitation post-repair; this case report leaves open generalizability.
Temporary pacing acts as an essential modality for maintaining hemodynamic stability in some life-threatening arrhythmias developed after cardiac surgery. We hereby discuss a case of partial balanced atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) in which temporary pacemaker acted as a potential pitfall in the assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR). This case highlights the impact of pacing mode on MR severity and hence influencing perioperative decision-making after intracardiac repair.

Negi et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Partial balanced atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and mitral regurgitation (n=1). Temporary pacing was evaluated on Assessment of mitral regurgitation severity. Temporary pacing mode impacted the assessment of mitral regurgitation severity, influencing perioperative decision-making after intracardiac repair.
