Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation was successfully performed in 3 pregnant women with drug-refractory supraventricular tachycardias, with all newborns having normal Apgar scores.
Why the study?
Is radiofrequency catheter ablation safe and effective in pregnant women with drug-refractory supraventricular tachycardias?
Case Report (n=3)
Is radiofrequency catheter ablation safe and effective in pregnant women with drug-refractory supraventricular tachycardias?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation may be an effective and feasible treatment for drug-refractory maternal supraventricular tachycardias in advanced pregnancy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support ablation consideration in refractory cases; leaves open need for larger safety studies before practice change.
F. Bombelli (2003) conducted a case report in Drug refractory maternal supraventricular tachycardias in advanced pregnancy (n=3). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Procedural success and newborn Apgar scores. Radiofrequency catheter ablation was successfully performed in 3 pregnant women with drug-refractory supraventricular tachycardias, with all newborns having normal Apgar scores.
