We here report two patients with atrial flutter (AFL) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) who were undergoing hemodialysis and returned quickly to normal sinus rhythm without hypotension when treated with bisoprolol transdermal patches (Bisono® Tape) (TOA EIYO, Tokyo, Japan). Spontaneous rhythm reversion had not occurred prior to these events in either patient. Our findings indicate that Bisono® Tape may be a new and more effective treatment for AFL and PSVT in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
