Abstract 4142266: Long-term Outcomes and Predictors of Recurrence in Atrial Arrhythmia Ablations Post-Fontan Procedure: A Retrospective Analysis

Circulation

Recurrence rates after catheter ablation in these patients are high. Demographic, clinical, and outcome variables over 5 years were compared between patients with and without SVT recurrence.Results:Mean age of 25 patients (56% male) at time of SVT ablation was 31.5 ± 7.2 Ablation success rate was 92%.
