Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully treated paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in 98.9% of pediatric patients, with a 5.6% recurrence rate and no severe complications.
Why the study?
Data on the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in children, particularly from low- and middle-income countries, are limited.

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation safely and effectively treat paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in children?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective and safe treatment for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in pediatric patients, even in lower middle-income country settings.
Nhut et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (n=95). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Success rate of radiofrequency catheter ablation. Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully treated paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in 98.9% of pediatric patients, with a 5.6% recurrence rate and no severe complications.
