Rapid ventricular pacing in cerebral aneurysm clipping: institutional workflow, systematic review, and single-arm meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study examines the safety and efficacy of rapid ventricular pacing for cerebral aneurysm clipping, focusing on arrhythmia, mortality, aneurysm obliteration, neurological deficits, and myocardial damage assessed via postoperative troponin T levels, through an institutional series, systematic review, and meta-analysis.

Methods

Data were extracted from institutional database and published studies investigating the use of RVP in both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Outcomes analyzed included postoperative arrhythmia, mortality, complete obliteration of aneurysms, pacing cycles, mean arterial pressure (MAP) during pacing, pacing rates, and postoperative troponin T levels. Pooled event rates and proportions were calculated using a common effect model, and hetero
