Abstract
Conclusions: A complex strategy remains an optional treatment for patients
with coronary bifurcation lesions without severe safety concerns. A
complex strategy may be an optimal treatment for true bifurcation lesions

Abstract
Background: Junctional ectopic tachycardia occurs frequently after
congenital cardiac surgery and can be a cause of increased morbidity and
mortality. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an a2 adrenoreceptor agonist, has
properties of controlling tachyarrhythmia by regulating the
sympatho-adrenal system. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of DEX for
control of junctional ectopic tachycardia after repair of Tetralogy of
Fallot (TOF). Materials and Methods: Two hundred and twenty pediatric
cardiac patients with TOFs were enrolled in a prospective randomized
control study. Patients underwent correction surgery. They were divided
into two groups, i.e., Group 1 (DEX) and Group 2 (control). Heart rate,
rhythm, mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded after the anesthetic
induction (T1), after termination of bypass (T2), after 04 hours (T3), and
08 hours after transferring the patient to intensive care unit (ICU; T4).
Results: Heart rate was comparable between two groups before starting the
drug but statistically significant after bypass until 08 hours after
transferring the patient to ICU. Junctional ectopic tachycardia occurred
more in Group-2 (20%) as compared to Group-1 (9.09%; P = 0.022).
Junctional ectopic tachycardia occurs early in Group-2 (0.14 + 0.527
hours) as compared to Group 1 (0.31 + 1.29 hours; P = 0.042). The duration
of junctional ectopic tachycardia was more prolonged in Group-2 (1.63 +
3.64 hours) as compared to Group-1 (0.382 + 1.60 hours; P = 0.012). The
time to withdraw from mechanical ventilation and ICU stay of Group 1
patient was less than of Group 2 patients (P = <0.001). Conclusion: DEX
had a therapeutic role in the prevention of junctional ectopic tachycardia
in patients undergoing repair for TOF.
