Repetitive Paroxysms of Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmias Triggered During Pediatric Cardiac Interventions: Suppression After Short Infusion of Amiodarone

Authors: U. Mazić, P. Berden, T. Podnar

Published in: Pediatric Cardiology | Issue 6/2004

Abstract

Arrhythmias are the most common major complications encountered during pediatric cardiac catheterizations. This report describes the management of repetitive paroxysms of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias triggered by catheter manipulation during interventional procedures in two children. After 15 minutes, amiodarone infusion (25 μg/kg/min) eliminated further paroxysms in both patients, allowing both interventions to be completed safely and effectively.
