Adenosine-Induced Cardiac Arrest for Transvenous Embolization of Midbrain Arteriovenous Malformation.
Abstract
Few studies describe the use of adenosine-induced cardiac systole for treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies. We describe a midbrain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treated with transvenous embolization using adenosine-induced asystole to achieve transient systemic hypotension with the purpose of furthering discussion on the technique and operative considerations for adenosine use in endovascular AVM treatments.
