Case Reports
Catheter ablation of junctional ectopic tachycardia in children, with preservation of atrioventricular conduction.
Idiopathic junctional ectopic tachycardia is a rare arrhythmia in children. Several studies have demonstrated that drug therapy is often ineffective and sometimes the only achieved effect is rate control. Early presentation and frequent recurrence are associated with adverse outcome. ⋯ Radio frequency catheter ablation of junctional ectopic tachycardia is feasible with preservation of atrioventricular conduction.
