Propofol warrants caution during pediatric ectopic atrial tachycardia ablation; leaves open optimal anesthesia choice for this subgroup.
Does intravenous propofol anesthesia affect the inducibility of tachyarrhythmias during radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with tachyarrhythmias?
Intravenous propofol anesthesia is feasible for most tachyarrhythmias during RFCA, but it may suppress the inducibility of ectopic atrial tachycardia in pediatric patients, rendering the procedure infeasible.
