Abstract

Medical and catheter-based ablation therapies have been successfully applied in treating supraventricular tachycardia, supported by abundant evidences from clinical trials. However, Special populations such as pediatric populations, pregnant patients, or patients with congenital heart diseases are easily excluded from clinical trials; thus, caution is needed when adopting results from clinical trials conducted in the usual adult population.
