We describe a novel per-rectal propranolol strategy to maintain antiarrhythmic prophylaxis during mandatory nil per oral (NPO) status imposed by NEC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Study Design This study includes a single case report at a tertiary neonatal unit in Western India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results A 35-week neonate with antenatal fetal tachyarrhythmia (&gt;300 beats per minute [bpm]) developed postnatal SVT at 6 h of life (280\u2013300 bpm), requiring adenosine cardioversion and oral propranolol. On day of life (DOL) 4, hematochezia, abdominal distension, and portal venous gas indicated Bell stage 3A NEC, mandating NPO status. With enteral routes contraindicated, propranolol was continued per rectum, to our knowledge the first reported neonatal antiarrhythmic use of this route. Deterioration to pneumoperitoneum by DOL 8 necessitated laparotomy with jejuno\u2013jejunal and ileo\u2013caecal resection and anastomosis. No SVT recurred during NPO. The infant was discharged on DOL 25 on oral propranolol.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion This first Indian report of SVT-associated surgical NEC highlights two novelties: Bell stage 3B NEC requiring surgery and per-rectal propranolol as a novel antiarrhythmic bridge during NPO. Clinicians should maintain vigilance for NEC in neonates with SVT regardless of hemodynamic stability, and consider the rectal route for propranolol when NPO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2942-1294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T22:46:55Z","timestamp":1788302815000},"page":"e165-e170","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Novel Rectal Propranolol Strategy in Neonatal Supraventricular Tachycardia Complicated by Surgical Necrotizing Enterocolitis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2795-5491","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Siddharth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Neonatology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashishkumar","family":"Banpurkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Paediatric Cardiology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhijit","family":"Benare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Pediatric Surgery"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anusha","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Neonatology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umesh","family":"Vaidya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Neonatology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Komal","family":"Bijarniya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Neonatology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manali","family":"Bhuyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Neonatology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bhakti","family":"Dhamangaonkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Maharashtra, India","place":["Pune"],"department":["Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"590","DOI":"10.1038\/nrgastro.2016.119","article-title":"Necrotizing enterocolitis: new insights into pathogenesis and mechanisms","volume":"13","author":"D F Ni\u00f1o","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1255","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2015.12.015","article-title":"The role of ischemia in necrotizing enterocolitis","volume":"51","author":"Y Chen","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"456","DOI":"10.3928\/00904481-20141022-13","article-title":"Supraventricular tachycardia in infancy and childhood","volume":"43","author":"A D Spearman","year":"2014","journal-title":"Pediatr Ann"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"539","DOI":"10.1007\/s40272-017-0254-0","article-title":"Management of supraventricular tachycardia in infants","volume":"19","author":"C Richardson","year":"2017","journal-title":"Paediatr Drugs"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-197801000-00001","article-title":"Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.
