Radiofrequency catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardias: experience at Peshawar.
BACKGROUND Drug therapy is mostly employed in the management of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). However, radiofrequency catheter ablation has been found to be highly effective and safe in the treatment of SVTs. The current study is aimed at sharing our experience of 320 patients who presented with SVTs, and were treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. METHODS This descriptive stu...
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 کاملRadiofrequency 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 in drug refractory maternal supraventricular tachycardias in advanced pregnancy.
BACKGROUND Treatment of maternal tachyarrhythmias in pregnancy is a major clinical issue. Pharmacological treatment raises important concerns regarding partial efficacy and side effects. Radiofrequency ablation of arrhythmogenic substrate has rarely been performed during pregnancy because of the fetal risks related to x-ray exposure and potential fetomaternal procedural complications. CASES T...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation in Children with Supraventricular Tachycardias: Intermediate Term Follow Up Results
THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation represents an important advance in the management of children with cardiac arrhythmias and has rapidly become the standard and effective line of therapy for supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) in pediatrics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intermediate term follow up results of radiofrequency catheter ablation in trea...
