Implication

May support AV junction ablation in refractory cases despite pacemaker dependency; leaves open comparative trials.

Structured PICO

Do catheter ablative techniques improve arrhythmia control in patients with drug-resistant cardiac arrhythmias?

P
Population
Patients with drug-resistant cardiac arrhythmias (including supraventricular arrhythmias, accessory pathways, and ventricular tachycardia)
I
Intervention
Catheter ablative techniques (including delivery of high-energy direct-current shocks)
O
Outcome
Arrhythmia control / patient improvement

Catheter ablation is an effective therapy for drug-resistant arrhythmias, though atrioventricular junction ablation results in chronic pacemaker dependency.
