Abstract
Although radiofrequency catheter ablation has been used extensively to treat refractory supraventricular tachycardia in adults, few data are available on its safety and efficacy in children and adolescents. We reviewed registry data obtained from 24 centers to evaluate the indications, early results, complications, and short-term follow-up data in young patients who underwent this procedure.Keywords
