Abstract:
A 78-year-old man with thoracic aortic aneurysm was scheduled for endovascular stent-graft surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass. He had a history of myocardial infarction five months before and echocardiography revealed ejection fraction of 37%. Deployment of the stent-graft was performed during third degree atrioventricular (A-V) block of 32 seconds produced by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) 30 mg. There were no complications during this procedure. ATP is a convenient and suitable agent to produce transient A-V block for the precise deployment of the stent-graft in these patients with severe cardiopulmonary complications.
