Popis: Background: A widely used method of treating left-sided arrhythmia substrates in children is retrograde transaortic ablation under fluoroscopic guidance. However, the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this approach under zero fluoroscopy (ZF) guidance, especially the mid-term safety of anatomy and function of aortic valves, have yet to be proven. Methods: All consecutive patients who received ablation of left-sided arrhythmias between January 2012 and June 2020 and below 20 years-old were enrolled. The study group submitted to 55 ZF-guided procedures using cardiac mapping system (EnSite Precision), whereas 49 procedures were performed under fluoroscopic guidance in the control group. Echocardiographic studies took place before and 6-months after ablative procedures. Results: One-hundred-and-two patients (male, 66; female, 36) underwent a total of 104 ablative procedures. Mean procedural durations were 83.9 ± 44.4 min in the study group and 64.8 ± 29.1 min in the control group, respectively (p = .01; the 95% confidence interval, −33.57 to −4.63). Corresponding fluoroscopic times were .5 ± 2.2 min and 24.7 ± 13.9 min (p
