Why the study?
AVRT is the most common cause of SVT in young pediatrics, and some newborns present with congestive heart failure requiring interventional treatment.
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation safely eliminate arrhythmia and improve hemodynamics in a neonate with drug-refractory incessant AVRT and heart failure?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation safely eliminate arrhythmia and improve hemodynamics in a neonate with drug-refractory incessant AVRT and heart failure?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation can be a safe, life-saving, and durable therapeutic option for neonates with drug-refractory incessant AVRT and cardiogenic shock.
May support ablation in select refractory neonatal AVRT with heart failure; leaves open questions on safety and generalizability.
