Key result
Pediatric catheter ablation maintains comparable outcomes while requiring fluoroscopy in only ~13% of cases.
Why the study?
Catheter ablation is the preferred early treatment in children, and the authors aimed to evaluate outcomes of paediatric patients undergoing electrophysiology studies and catheter ablation at their centre.
Population
586 paediatric patients undergoing catheter ablation
Design
Single-centre retrospective study

Supports minimal-fluoroscopy pediatric ablation; extends observational data but leaves open need for prospective trials.
Catheter ablation guided by electroanatomical mapping in pediatric patients is feasible with limited fluoroscopy, requiring its use in only 12.8% of cases with low exposure times.
Sarisoy et al. (2026) studied this question. Catheter ablation in children achieved acute success and recurrence rates comparable to previous studies, with fluoroscopy used in only 12.8% of cases.
