Radiofrequency ablation vs. cryoablation for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in the era of three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCryoablation for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is favored for reducing conduction system injury compared to radiofrequency (RF) ablation. ResultsAmong 95 patients, 69 received RF ablation and 26 received cryoablation. Recurrence rates were 2.9% vs. 11.5%, p>0.99).

Cardiac Ablation in the Pediatric Population at a Tertiary Care Center in a Developing Country

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction The aim of this study was to describe our experience and outcome of ablation therapy for arrhythmias in pediatrics at a tertiary care center. All pediatrics presenting to AUBMC between 2000 and 2020 who underwent cardiac ablation were included. Of those, 60% were males with a mean age of 15 years.

Multipath joint ablation strategy for focal atrial tachycardia originating from patent foramen ovale: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionFocal atrial tachycardia (FAT) is predominant in the pediatric population. A 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a rate of 157 beats per minute and a prolonged RP relationship. Echocardiography indicated a severely reduced ejection fraction of 22%.

Cardioneuroablation for pediatric patients with functional sinus node dysfunction and paroxysmal atrioventricular block

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a catheter-based intervention, used to identify and ablate the epicardial ganglionated plexi (GP), which results in disruption of the vagal-mediated parasympathetic input to the sinus and atrioventricular node. with one documented SP after termination of atrial tachycardia at the 3-month follow-up.

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. This is one important cause of supraventricular tachycardia in Ebstein’s anomaly. Periprocedural electrophysiological study and ablation of potential arrhythmic circuits, have been suggested as a preventive strategy.

Young Man with a Heart Rate of 257. What is it and how to manage?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Here is his 12-lead: There is a wide complex tachycardia with a rate of 257, with RBBB and LPFB (right axis deviation) morphology. Read about Fascicular VT here: Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardias for the EM Physician Case Continued He was completely stable, so adenosine was administered. See Learning point 1 below.

Introduction of the Low Voltage Bridge Mapping for the AVNRT RF Ablation in Children – Early Follow‐Up Results

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Background Low voltage bridge mapping (LVBM) is an approach to atrio-ventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation that has been postulated to facilitate the procedure. In our center, AVNRT ablations were performed with the traditional radio frequency current (RF) current approach using the CARTO mapping system.
