  • Title: [Radiofrequency ablation of left-sided atrioventricular accessory tract to treat supraventricular tachycardia].
    Author: Ren ZW.
    Journal: Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing Za Zhi; 1992 Aug; 20(4):212-4, 259. PubMed ID: 1304487.
    Abstract:
    Eleven procedures of radiofrequency catheter ablation of left-sided atrioventricular accessory tract were performed in 10 patients with atrioventricular reentry tachycardia aged 13-57 (32.7 +/- 13.2) years old. 10 patients, 9 with overt preexcitation syndrome and 1 with concealed bypath tract, had paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia refractory to drugs for 1-31 (7.8 +/- 9.8) years. The ablation was succeeded in 9 cases (90%). The accurate localization of the accessory tract and the operating skill of ablation electrode were the key factors of success in ablation and reducing exposure to x-ray.
