Key result
Surgical ablation linked to ~3.5-fold higher odds of arrhythmia-free survival vs catheter ablation in CHD.
Why the study?
Does surgical ablation improve rhythm control and outcomes in patients with congenital heart disease and tachyarrhythmias?
Does surgical ablation improve rhythm control and outcomes in patients with congenital heart disease and tachyarrhythmias?
Surgical ablation is an effective and essential rhythm-control strategy for managing complex tachyarrhythmias in congenital heart disease, especially during concomitant cardiac surgery or when catheter ablation fails.

Favors surgical ablation for tachyarrhythmias in congenital heart disease; extends systematic evidence to guide concomitant procedures.
Surgical ablation (SA) has become an essential rhythm-control strategy for managing tachyarrhythmias in patients with congenital heart disease. Atrial tachyarrhythmias, such as atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, are prev... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press

Bosch et al. (2024) conducted a review in Congenital heart disease with tachyarrhythmias. Surgical ablation vs. Catheter ablation was evaluated. Surgical ablation provides approximately 3.5 times higher odds of achieving arrhythmia-free survival compared to catheter ablation in patients with congenital heart disease.
