Implication

May support adenosine for balloon dilatation in congenital heart disease; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does intravenous adenosine safely induce transient cardiac standstill to facilitate balloon dilatation in patients with congenital heart disease?

Population

13 patients with congenital heart disease and stenotic lesions requiring relief via balloon dilatation, ages 2 months to 30 years (mean 9.9 years).

Intervention

Intravenous adenosine (dose 0.125 to 0.555 mg/kg, mean 0.33 mg/kg) administered during balloon dilatation procedures.

Outcome

Creation of transient cardiac standstill (duration of asystole and atrioventricular block) and reduction in peak gradient across stenotic lesions.surrogate

Intravenous adenosine safely and effectively induces transient cardiac standstill to facilitate balloon dilatation procedures in patients with congenital heart disease.
