Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation in children achieved a 96.7% success rate with 0% mortality, 0.3% major complications, and a 9.3% recurrence rate over a median 4.3 years of follow-up.
Cohort (n=333)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation in children is highly successful (96.7%) with very low complication rates and a 9.3% recurrence rate, supporting its continued use as a standard treatment.

Provides contemporary RF ablation benchmarks in children; leaves open direct comparison with cryoenergy.
Hanslik et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in tachyarrhythmia (n=333). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on success rate. Radiofrequency catheter ablation in children achieved a 96.7% success rate with 0% mortality, 0.3% major complications, and a 9.3% recurrence rate over a median 4.3 years of follow-up.
