Implication

Supports RF ablation in pediatric SVT; provides multicenter benchmark but leaves open need for randomized long-term data.

Structured PICO

Does radiofrequency ablation achieve high acute success rates and low complication rates in pediatric patients with supraventricular tachycardia?

P
Population
2,761 pediatric patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation, comprising a prospective cohort (n=481) aged 0 to 16 years with supraventricular tachycardia due to accessory pathways or AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) excluding nontrivial congenital heart disease, cohort-eligible registry participants (n=504), and not cohort-eligible registry participants (n=1,776).
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation
O
Outcome
Acute success rates and complications of electrophysiologic study and RF ablationsafety

Radiofrequency ablation in pediatric patients demonstrates high acute success rates (95.7%) and low complication rates, establishing a multicenter benchmark for this population.
