Does catheter ablation provide high efficacy and safety in pediatric patients with various tachycardia substrates?
Catheter ablation is a safe and effective treatment for most pediatric tachycardias, though ventricular tachycardia ablation has lower long-term success.
The present study proves overall high efficacy and safety of catheter ablation of various tachycardia substrates in pediatric patients. Of note, complication rate was exceptionally low. Long-term success was high except for patients after VT ablation.
Krause et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
