Key result
Rapid right ventricular pacing successfully provided balloon stability in all 14 patients who experienced initial balloon displacement, with no sustained arrhythmias or procedure-related complications.

May aid balloon stability during congenital AS valvotomy without arrhythmias; extends small series but leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does rapid right ventricular pacing improve balloon stability during balloon dilatation in patients with congenital aortic stenosis?
Rapid right ventricular pacing is a safe and effective technique for maintaining balloon stability during balloon aortic valvotomy in congenital heart disease.
Ingo Daehnert (2004) studied Congenital aortic stenosis (n=37). Rapid right ventricular pacing was evaluated on Balloon stability versus displacement during balloon dilatation and procedure related complications. Rapid right ventricular pacing successfully provided balloon stability in all 14 patients who experienced initial balloon displacement, with no sustained arrhythmias or procedure-related complications.
