Key result
Continuous transesophageal pacing was safely performed for 3.5 hours as a bridge to permanent pacemaker implantation in a 1403 g infant with complete atrioventricular block.
Why the study?
Can transesophageal pacing be safely and effectively used as a bridge to permanent pacemaker implantation in a very-low-birth-weight infant with complete atrioventricular block?

Can transesophageal pacing be safely and effectively used as a bridge to permanent pacemaker implantation in a very-low-birth-weight infant with complete atrioventricular block?
Transesophageal pacing can serve as a safe and effective temporary bridge to permanent pacemaker implantation in very-low-birth-weight infants when other pacing methods fail.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May offer temporary pacing bridge in refractory neonatal AV block; leaves open need for safety and efficacy data in larger cohorts.
Nomura et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Complete atrioventricular block (n=1). Transesophageal pacing was evaluated on Successful pacing and absence of complications (oesophageal burn). Continuous transesophageal pacing was safely performed for 3.5 hours as a bridge to permanent pacemaker implantation in a 1403 g infant with complete atrioventricular block.
