Key result
Rapid ventricular pacing achieved balloon stability in 27 of 29 (93.1%) infants and children undergoing transcatheter interventions for congenital aortic stenosis or coarctation.
Why the study?
Does rapid ventricular pacing improve balloon stability in infants and children undergoing transcatheter interventions for congenital aortic stenosis and coarctation?
Observational (n=30)
Does rapid ventricular pacing improve balloon stability in infants and children undergoing transcatheter interventions for congenital aortic stenosis and coarctation?
Rapid ventricular pacing titrated to a median rate of 240 bpm is an effective technique to achieve balloon stability during transcatheter interventions in pediatric patients with congenital aortic stenosis or coarctation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Rapid ventricular pacing may stabilize balloons in pediatric aortic interventions; leaves open need for prospective safety and efficacy trials.
Mehta et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Congenital aortic stenosis and coarctation of the aorta (n=30). Rapid ventricular pacing was evaluated on Balloon stability at the time of intervention. Rapid ventricular pacing achieved balloon stability in 27 of 29 (93.1%) infants and children undergoing transcatheter interventions for congenital aortic stenosis or coarctation.
