| Popis: | Over the past decade, the technique of radiofrequency ablation has evolved substantially. Currently, most forms of cardiac arrhythmias seen in children can be treated with good long-term results and low risk of adverse outcome. Curative arrhythmia treatment with this technique, however, is still uncommon in neonates and infants. Reported here is our experience in the management of an 8-week-old with drug-resistant permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia. |
