چکیده
BACKGROUND Remote magnetic navigation-guided ablation with 3-dimensional (3D)-image integration could provide maximum benefit in patients with complex anatomy. We reviewed supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation in adult patients with congenital heart disease to assess the contribution of these technologies. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred fifty-four SVT ablation procedures (228 SVTs) using a 3D-electroanatomic mapping system in 116 adult patients with congenital heart disease (mean age, 41; 76 male) were classified into 3 groups: Group A, manual mapping/ablation (n=60 procedures); Group B, remote magnetic navigation-guided mapping/ablation with normal femoral vein access (49); and Group C, remote magnetic navigation-guided mapping/ablation with difficult access (45). Group A included simple anomalies with less SVTs. Group B comprised predominantly Fontan patients with more SVTs. Group C included more complex defects, such as intra-atrial baffle or interrupted inferior venous access, in which retrograde aortic and superior venous accesses were used exclusively with more frequent use of image integration (97.8%; P<0.001). Acute success was 91.5%, 83.7%, and 82.2%, respectively (P=0.370). In group C, fluoroscopy time was the shortest (median, 4.2 min; P<0.001) despite the longer procedure duration (median, 253 min; P<0.001). SVTs free rates were 80.4%, 82.4%, and 75.8%, respectively (P=0.787) during a mean 20-months follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS The combination of remote magnetic navigation, 3D-image integration, and electroanatomic mapping system facilitated safe and feasible ablation with very low fluoroscopy exposure even in patients with complex anomalies.

Ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias in adult congenital heart disease: A contemporary review.
Supraventricular arrhythmias are an important and increasing cause of morbidity in adults with congenital heart disease, requiring specific management strategies. Pharmacological treatment has limited efficacy, and is often associated with some side-effects. Major improvements in catheter ablation techniques have opened new opportunities to better understand underlying mechanisms of supraventri...

BACKGROUND Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is common in complex congenital heart disease (CCHD) patients with single-ventricle physiology and may cause hemodynamic deterioration. We reported the outcomes of catheter ablation for such complex SVT in these single-ventricle CCHD patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with single-ventricle physiology (defined as CCHD patients) who received ele...

INTRODUCTION Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation is an effective, safe treatment of arrhythmias in children. However, despite technical advances, patients with obstructed venous access to the heart have not been candidates for this treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Two children (8.2 and 10.9 kg) with complex congenital heart disease, supraventricular tachycardia, and obstructed venous access u...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in children and adolescents: a single center experience
Purpose Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is less common in pediatric patients than in adult patients. Thus, data for pediatric AVNRT patients are insufficient. Hence, we aimed to analyze the patient characteristics, treatment, and any recurrences in pediatric AVNRT patients. Methods We reviewed the records of 50 pediatric AVNRT patients who had undergone radiofrequency cathe...
