Key result
Adenosine triphosphate (Striadyne) successfully converted supraventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm in 2 hydropic fetuses, though both children had severe postnatal cardiac and neurologic problems.

Does adenosine triphosphate injection into the umbilical vein improve cardioversion to sinus rhythm in hydropic fetuses with severe SVT?
Adenosine triphosphate via umbilical vein injection effectively converted SVT to sinus rhythm in two hydropic fetuses, though severe postnatal complications occurred.
Roszkowski et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Fetal supraventricular tachycardia with fetal hydrops (n=2). Adenosine triphosphate (Striadyne) was evaluated on Cardioversion to sinus rhythm. Adenosine triphosphate (Striadyne) successfully converted supraventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm in 2 hydropic fetuses, though both children had severe postnatal cardiac and neurologic problems.
