Is radiofrequency catheter ablation efficacious and safe for treating septal accessory atrioventricular pathways?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is an efficacious and safe treatment for septal accessory pathways, with bipolar approaches offering an alternative in difficult cases.
Xie et al. (1994) conducted an observational in Septal accessory atrioventricular pathways (n=48). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Successful ablation of the pathway during the first session. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of septal accessory pathways was successful in 88% of patients during the first session, with an overall success rate of 92%.
