Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of catheter radiofrequency ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.Methods From Jul 2003 to Jan 2011,1106 cases with narrow QRS complex tachycardia who were treated by catheter radiofrequency ablation were recruited from our center and followed up for the rates of successful treatment,rcurrence and complications.Results There were in total 1106 patients (atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia:588 ; atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia:477; atrial tachycardia:41 ),with a sex proportion of 1∶1.Successful ablation rate was 98.3 ％ (1087/1106).Of the 1087 successful ablation cases,43 (3.9％ )were warranted repeated ablation.The recurrent rates for trioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia,atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia,left accessory pathway and right accessory pathway were 1.5％,5.6％,3.9％,and 9.1％ respectively.Complication rate was 1.5％.The major complications included pheumothorax ( 6 cases ),pulmonary embolism ( 1 case ),transient third-degree atrioventricular block ( 2 cases ),first-degree atrioventricular block ( 3 cases ),and persistent third-degree atrioventricular block(2 cases)with pacemaker implantation.There was one case of cardiogenic sudden death 5 days after the treatment procedure.The cause of his death was chronic stroke-related but not related to the operation procedure.Conclusion Catheter ablation has high efficacy and low complication rate in long-term follow-up,and is a promising treatment for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
