Overview

May support ablation as first-line for PSVT; leaves open need for updated prospective comparisons.

Structured PICO

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation improve cure rates in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?

P
Population
Patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia secondary to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, and atrial tachycardia
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency catheter ablation
O
Outcome
Cure rates / success rates

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective front-line therapy for various forms of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, with high cure rates and low complication risks.

Cite This Study

Naccarelli et al. (1995) conducted a review in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated. Radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia achieves cure rates exceeding 90% for accessory pathways and 95% for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia.
