Does radiofrequency catheter ablation safely and effectively treat arrhythmias in pediatric patients?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly effective and safe for treating various arrhythmias in pediatric patients, demonstrating success rates exceeding 90% and a very low complication rate.
Xinxing et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Cardiac Arrhythmias (n=4,622). Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) was evaluated on Overall acute success rate. Radiofrequency catheter ablation for arrhythmias in pediatric patients achieved an overall acute success rate of 96.4% and a long-term success rate of 92.2%, with a 0.6% serious complication rate.
