“…Endocardial catheter ablation for tachyarrhythmias may be unsuccessful due to an epicardial location of the tachycardia focus. In the past, surgical approaches have been used to access and eliminate epicardial foci for such tachyarrhythmias . With development and advances in catheter ablation, the surgical approach has been utilized rarely, other than when a patient requires heart surgery for some other reason.…”

Epicardial ablation in pediatric patients can be performed with low complications and acceptable success. It can be considered for a spectrum of tachycardia mechanisms after failed endocardial ablation attempts and suspected epicardial foci. Success and recurrence may be related to foci in proximity to the epicardial coronaries, pericardial scar, or a distant location from the closest epicardial location. Repeat procedures may be necessary.
