  • Title: The use of right ventricular pacing to facilitate stent graft deployment in the distal aortic arch: a case report.
    Author: Moon MC, Dowdall JF, Roselli EE.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2008 Mar; 47(3):629-31. PubMed ID: 18295115.
    Abstract:
    Stent graft repair of aortic pathology involving the distal aortic arch requires precise device deployment based on excellent imaging and stable hemodynamics. An inadequate proximal seal may result in a type I endoleak, which may require an additional device or even conversion to open surgery to control. This case report describes transvenous rapid pacing, a safe and reproducible technique to allow precise deployment or balloon dilation of a stent graft in the distal arch or proximal thoracic aorta.
