Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) has been performed at the Charleston Area Medical Center since September 1991. Of the first 72 patients undergoing this procedure, a total of 76 tachycardias were treated and these included 41 accessory pathways, 21 junctionals, and 14 atrial tachycardias (atrial fibrillation, flutter, and intra-atrial reentry tachycardia). RF catheter ablation was successful in 67 of these patients (93%). This procedure is a highly effective treatment modality which should be considered in patients with recurrent symptomatic SVT. |
