Does open irrigated-tip catheter ablation safely and effectively eliminate accessory pathways in children and adolescents with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
Open irrigated-tip catheter ablation is highly effective and safe for treating Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in pediatric patients, demonstrating a 95.1% success rate with no complications or recurrences at 1 year.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports open irrigated-tip ablation in pediatric WPW; extends limited data but leaves open need for randomized trials.
Gulletta et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (n=41). Open irrigated-tip radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Overall procedural success after the first procedure. Open irrigated-tip catheter ablation for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in children and adolescents achieved a 95.1% procedural success rate after the first procedure with no complications.
