May avoid temporary pacing electrodes during pediatric BAV; leaves open randomized trials to confirm safety and efficacy.
Does rapid ventricular pacing via back-up guidewires provide effective pacing and balloon stability during balloon aortic valvuloplasty in children with congenital aortic stenosis?
Using back-up guidewires for rapid ventricular pacing during balloon aortic valvuloplasty in children is safe and effective, eliminating the need for a temporary pacemaker electrode and additional venous access.
