Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly successful procedure without complications for treating idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in children.
We performed radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in six children. In four, the ventricular tachycardia originated in the left ventricle, in two it originated in the right ventricular outflow tract. In 5/6 (83%) the RF procedure was successful; there were no complications.
