Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Supraventricular Tachycardia
Radiofrequency catheter-mediated ablation is a recently developed technique of achieving cure of certain rhythm disorders, notably supraventricular tachycardia. In less than a decade, it has evolved from a theoretic concept to first line therapy for many patients, including those in the pediatric age group. The most common types of arrhythmias amenable to catheter ablation include supraventricu...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Supraventricular Tachycardia
C atheter ablation for nonpharmacological management of pediatric patients with tachyarrhythmias has evolved during the past approximately 10 years. Direct-current energy ablation was initially used in some patients with drug-refractory, life-threatening tachyarrhythmias such as junctional ectopic-focus tachycardia and also for some children with left ventricular dysfunction due to incessant ta...
متن کاملNonfluoroscopic catheter navigation for radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in children.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RCA) of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children is highly successful but requires exposure to radiation. Nonfluoroscopic mapping systems may significantly reduce fluoroscopy time. METHODS Forty consecutive pediatric patients who underwent RCA for accessory pathways (AP) or AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with use of a nonfluoroscopic ...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation became first-line therapy for supraventricular tachycardia in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome1–5 and atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)6–11 in the early 1990s. High ablation success ( 90%) and low complication rates ( 5%) were found by numerous investigators.1–11 This article describes these ablation techniques with a foc...
متن کاملInitial experience of radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in paediatric patients.
INTRODUCTION The management of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in paediatric patients until recently has frequently been pharmacologic therapy, but this approach suffers from the drawbacks of treatment failure, development of drug intolerance and/or side-effects. AIM In keeping with recent advances in paediatric cardiology, we share our experience with radiofrequency catheter ablation as a...
