Abstract
Summary The feasibility and efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation of medically resistant supraventricular tachycardia is a promising technique with applications in the pediatric age group. The limitations of this procedure in the pediatric population, however, have yet to be delineated. We herein report a case of incessant reentrant supraventricular tachycardia in a two month old infant which was resistant to pharmacologic therapy, yet successfully treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation.
