Safety and Efficacy of High-Dose Adenosine-Induced Asystole during Endovascular AAA Repair

Abstract

Cardiac events following adenosine-induced asystole are infrequent, mild, and easily treated. The perioperative use of high-dose adenosine to ensure precise stent-graft placement appears to be a safe method of inducing temporary asystole during endovascular aortic repair.
