Rapid Ventricular Pacing During Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery: a Retrospective Study Concerning the Safety for Heart and Brain

NCT03281395 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a technique to obtain flow arrest for short periods of time during dissection or rupture of the aneurysm. RVP results in an adequate fall of blood pressure which presents as an on-off phenomenon. It is not clear whether repetitive periods of pacing are harmless for the patient. Silent cardiac and cerebral infarcts may be undetected. The investigator will study the safety of RVP, particularly for the heart and the brain, retrograde by studying troponin levels and magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP)

Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a technique to obtain flow arrest for short period of time during dissection of the aneurysm. RVP results in an adequate fall in blood pressure which presents as an on-off phenomenon. RVP technique facilitates the dissection and manipulation of cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations and can be lifesaving in the case of an intraoperative bleeding or rupture.

PROCEDURE

No rapid ventricular pacing
