Key result
Pulsed-field ablation restores stable sinus rhythm in an 11-year-old with focal atrial tachycardia.
Why the study?
Radiofrequency ablation of focal atrial tachycardia appears to carry a lower success rate and higher complication rate in pediatric compared with adult patients.

Does pulsed-field ablation safely restore sinus rhythm in a pediatric patient with focal atrial tachycardia?
This first reported case demonstrates that pulsed-field ablation can safely and effectively treat focal atrial tachycardia arising from pulmonary veins in a pediatric patient.
Rossillo et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Focal atrial tachycardia (n=1). Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) was evaluated on Restoration of stable sinus rhythm. Pulsed-field ablation successfully restored stable sinus rhythm after the first application in an 11-year-old girl with focal atrial tachycardia arising from the left superior pulmonary vein.
