Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation achieved high success rates of 98% (95% CI 0.96-0.99) for AVRT and 99% (95% CI 0.98-1.00) for AVNRT in children, with low complication rates.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency catheter ablation in treating children with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

Meta-Analysis (n=6,032)
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) provide effective and safe treatment in children under 18 with AVRT and AVNRT?
Effect estimate: RATE 0.98 (95% CI 0.96-0.99)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective and safe treatment for pediatric patients with AVRT and AVNRT, demonstrating success rates of 98-99% with minimal complications.
Zhang et al. (2024) conducted a meta-analysis in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) (n=6,032). Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) was evaluated on Success rate of RFCA for AVRT (RATE 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-0.99). Radiofrequency catheter ablation achieved high success rates of 98% (95% CI 0.96-0.99) for AVRT and 99% (95% CI 0.98-1.00) for AVNRT in children, with low complication rates.
