Paired ventricular pacing: an alternative therapy for postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia in congenital heart disease.
Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is one of the most life-threatening postoperative arrhythmias in children with congenital heart disease, and medical management is difficult. Paired ventricular pacing (PVP) may provide a safe alternative mode of management. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of PVP for the management of postoperative JET in patients with congenital heart disease. A retrospective collection of data was done from 1981-1995. PVP was successfully tried in five postoperative patients (age range: 37 days to 22 years, median: 10 months). Onset of JET was 3-60 hours (mean +/- SD, 19 +/- 23 hours) postoperatively. The maximal JET rate was 261 +/- 39 beats/min. PVP was used as the first line of management in three patients and was successful in all patients. It resulted in an instantaneous increase in blood pressure from 66 +/- 9 to 94 +/- 15 mmHg (42% increase) and was required for 12 +/- 14 hours (range 2-36 hours). No complications were noted. Therefore, in our experience, this is a safe alternative modality for the control of postoperative JET.
