Five-year experience with radiofrequency catheter ablation: Implications for management of arrhythmias in pediatric and young adult patients

description Objective: A review of the results of the first 5 years of radiofrequency catheter ablation procedures performed at Children's Hospital, Boston, a large tertiary referral center for patients with congenital heart disease and arrhythmias common to the infant, child, and young adult. Study design: A retrospective review of 410 consecutive procedures in 346 patients who underwent at least one application of radiofrequency energy for the treatment of recurrent supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia. Results: The overall final success rate for all diagnoses was 90%, with a higher success rate in patients with an accessory pathway (96%). During the 5-year study period, the success rate improved while the rates of failures and late recurrences declined. The incidence of serious complications was 1.2% (1 late death, 1 ventricular dysfunction, 1 complete heart block, 1 cardiac perforation, and 1 cerebrovascular accident). Conclusions: This report of a large series of radiofrequency catheter ablation procedures performed at an institution committed to treating congenital heart disease and pediatric arrhythmias confirms the safety and efficacy of this procedure. The pediatric cardiologist/electrophysiologist treating such patients must be aware of specific technical, anatomic, and electrophysiologic variations in the pediatric patient that are critical to the success of this therapy.
