Radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways in infants.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the indications, results and complications of radiofrequency catheter ablation in small infants with supraventricular tachycardia due to an accessory atrioventricular pathway. METHODS Five infants less than 9 months old underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways. Ablation was done for medically refractory tachyarrhythmia associated with aborted sudd...

Background—The objective of this study was to determine the indications, the safety, and the efficacy of pediatric radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in infants. Methods and Results—Data from the pediatric RFCA registry were reviewed. Between August 1989 and January 1999, 137 infants, defined by age 0 to 1.5 years (median 0.7 years; weight 1.9 to 14.8 kg, median 10 kg), underwent 152 proce...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia. Should it be used in infants and small children?
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 in children and adolescents with preexcitation syndrome.
BACKGROUND Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) is the most common tachycardia, accounting for 70% of regular narrow-QRS arrhythmias in children. Because of the potential disadvantages of a life-long drug therapy and relatively favourable results from radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) therapy in adults, the indications for ablation therapy in children with preexcitation syndrome ...
متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency catheter ablation for supraventricular arrhythmias in children.
Nineteen procedures were performed in 17 children, aged 10 months to 17 years, using catheter radiofrequency applications for the management of malignant or drug-resistant supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Diagnoses were junctional ectopic tachycardia in 1 patient, atrioventricular (AV) node reentrant tachycardia in 4 and accessory pathway-mediated tachycardia in 12. Accessory pathway location...
