Transcatheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease in the era of 3D mapping

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. Nowadays, in large enough children, chronic treatment for symptomatic and recurrent AVNRT episodes relies on transcatheter ablation.

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.

Catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia in pediatric patients: a single-center experience

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

PurposeAtrial tachycardia is an uncommon supraventricular tachycardia in children. It is often drug-resistant and likely to occur concomitantly with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, making radiofrequency catheter ablation the preferred treatment. A total of 78.6% No postoperative complications occurred in any patient.
