Abstract

Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) for supraventricular tachycardia(SVT) in children.Methods:RFCA was used for 8 children(14 years old)with SVT.Results:Eight children were predisposed to SVT,among them,right lateral accessory pathway in 6 cases,atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia(AVNRT) in 2 cases.All patients were successfully ablated without complications and the success rate of ablation was 100%.There was 1 case of recurrence in 2 months after ablation and was undergone successful ablation again.During follow up of 4～24 months,there was no SVT recurrence in all patients.Conclusions:The results showed that RFCA for tachyarrhythmias in children is effective and safe.
