Implication

Warrants vigilance for coronary injury during pediatric AVNRT ablation; first report extends awareness but leaves open incidence and prevention.

Population

A child with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)

Intervention

Slow pathway radiofrequency ablation

Outcome

Coronary artery injury/stenosissafety

Highlights a rare but potentially life-threatening risk of coronary artery injury during slow pathway ablation for AVNRT in children, which may present with transient or nonexistent signs.

Limitations

Controlled studies are needed to determine the true risk of coronary artery injury during radiofrequency ablation for supraventricular tachycardia, particularly in small children.
