Implication
Supports feasibility of low-radiation ablation in baffle SVT; hypothesis-generating pending controlled trials.
Structured PICO
Does remote-controlled magnetic navigation and ablation with 3D image integration improve ablation success in patients with SVT and intra-atrial baffle anatomy?
P
Population
13 patients (8 male; age, 30.5±8 years) with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and previous intra-atrial baffle procedures (Mustard, Senning, or total cavopulmonary connection).
I
Intervention
Remote-controlled catheter ablation using magnetic navigation in conjunction with 3D image integration via an exclusively retrograde approach.
O
Outcome
Successful elimination of SVTs and radiation exposure.
Remote-controlled magnetic navigation with 3D image integration allows for safe and successful retrograde ablation of SVTs in patients with complex congenital intra-atrial baffle anatomy.
