Catheter ablation of drug resistant supraventricular tachycardia in neonates and infants

Abstract

(0.7-19.7). None of the patients developed major complications. After the average follow-up period of 6.5 months (3-18), all patients were symptom-free without medication. Conclusions: RFA and TCA can be performed successfully in neonates and infants with incessant medically refractory SVT. (Cardiol J 2013; 20, 3: 241-246)

Advances and Limitations in Electroanatomic Mapping for Infant Catheter Ablation

“…Akdeniz et al reported on their single-center experience with catheter ablation in very small infants aged younger than one year, with a total of five patients having undergone successful ablation. 10 In this small cohort, two had notable congenital heart disease (CHD) and all had accessory pathway-mediated supraventricular tachycardia that was ablated with cryotherapy or RF without major complications. EAM was employed in all elective cases (one case was performed emergently without EAM).…”

“…None of the patients developed major complications. The acute success rate was 100% . Because of similar indications, we used catheter ablation for nine patients in this study.…”

“…The acute success rate was 100%. 22 Because of similar indications, we used catheter ablation for nine patients in this study. The acute success rate was 100% in the eight RFA patient and one cryoablation patient, without any complications.…”

Supraventricular Tachycardia in Children

“…Рекомендуется проведение инвазивного (внутрисердечного) электрофизиологического исследования сердца [10] (сила рекомендаций 2; достоверность доказательств С). Процедура выполняется всем детям, которым назначено интервенционное лечение аритмии, а также в ряде случаев для уточнения природы аритмии, степени ее опасности для пациента и выявления нарушений ритма сердца, например при невозможности установить генез повторяющихся приступов потери сознания при помощи других методов исследования.…”
