Implication

May support ablation consideration in refractory infant JET; leaves open need for prospective trials on safety and durability.

Key Points

The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of radiofrequency catheter ablation in an infant with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia.
Performed radiofrequency catheter ablation at 9 months of age.
Patient had previous treatment with multiple antiarrhythmic medications.
Follow-up included assessment of AV conduction post-ablation.
Successful ablation of tachycardia was achieved.
Atrioventricular conduction was preserved after the procedure.
The infant experienced a reduction in hospitalizations due to tachycardia.

Structured PICO

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully treat refractory congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia in an infant?

Population

1 infant (9 months of age) with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia requiring frequent hospitalizations despite multiple antiarrhythmic medications

Intervention

Radiofrequency catheter ablation

Outcome

Successful ablation of the tachycardia with preservation of AV conduction

Radiofrequency catheter ablation can be successfully and safely performed to treat refractory congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia in infants while preserving AV conduction.
