Structured PICO

Does mapping and radiofrequency ablation safely treat severe drug-resistant tachyarrhythmia in pregnant women?

Population

9 pregnant women (age 24-34 years) at 12-38th week of pregnancy with severe drug-resistant tachyarrhythmia (3 permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia, 2 incessant atrial tachycardia, 1 AVNRT requiring cardioversion, 3 Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).

Intervention

Mapping and radiofrequency ablation with minimum or no X-ray exposure.

Outcome

Freedom from arrhythmia and absence of complications related to ablation in mothers or children.safety

Radiofrequency ablation with minimal or no X-ray exposure can be performed safely and effectively in pregnant women with severe, drug-resistant tachyarrhythmias.
