Implication

Does not support routine fluoroscopy-free ablation in pregnancy; leaves open need for prospective safety data.

Structured PICO

Does catheter ablation without fluoroscopy using 3D mapping safely treat supraventricular tachycardia in pregnant women?

Population

1 pregnant woman (27 years old, 22-week twin gestation) with incessant supraventricular tachycardia refractory to medical management (propranolol and flecainide).

Intervention

Catheter cryoablation guided by a three-dimensional mapping system without fluoroscopy or sedation.

Outcome

Procedural success and maternal/fetal safety (delivery of healthy twins).

Three-dimensional mapping enables safe, fluoroscopy-free catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia during pregnancy, avoiding radiation exposure to the fetus.
