Key result
Adenosine-induced transient cardiac asystole allowed accurate deployment of balloon-expandable stent-grafts without clinical sequelae in 16 patients with aortic aneurysms.
Why the study?
Does intravenous adenosine-induced transient cardiac asystole improve precise deployment of stent-grafts in patients undergoing endovascular repair of thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms?

Does intravenous adenosine-induced transient cardiac asystole improve precise deployment of stent-grafts in patients undergoing endovascular repair of thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Adenosine-induced transient cardiac asystole is a safe and effective technique to facilitate precise deployment of stent-grafts during endovascular aortic repair by temporarily halting systolic blood flow.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid precise stent-graft deployment in endovascular aortic repair; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Dorros et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms (n=16). Intravenous adenosine was evaluated on Accurate deployment of stent-grafts and clinical sequelae. Adenosine-induced transient cardiac asystole allowed accurate deployment of balloon-expandable stent-grafts without clinical sequelae in 16 patients with aortic aneurysms.
