Does radiofrequency catheter ablation safely and effectively treat AVNRT in pediatric patients?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly effective and safe for pediatric AVNRT, with no permanent AV block observed, supporting its continued use despite the rise of cryoablation.
Fishberger et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (n=65). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Acute success, recurrences, and incidence of AV block. Radiofrequency catheter ablation for pediatric AVNRT achieved 100% acute success with no recurrences or permanent AV block over a mean follow-up of 32.5 months.
