Implication
May guide ablation in congenital heart disease; leaves open prospective validation of entrainment techniques.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients who have undergone corrective surgery for congenital heart disease and developed intraatrial reentrant tachycardia ("incisional reentry")
I
Intervention
Electrophysiological mapping and ablation techniques (including entrainment with concealed fusion and postpacing interval analysis)
Understanding the electrophysiology of incisional reentry and utilizing techniques like entrainment with concealed fusion are essential for identifying critical isthmuses and improving ablation outcomes in patients with congenital heart disease.
