Journal Title: Kocaeli Tıp Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective method in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). In this study, we evaluated the results of the first 269 patients treated with RFCA of SVT in a our new arrythmia center METHODS: 269 patients underwent RFCA for SVT between january 2013 and january 2016 were retrospectively evaluated in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients, electrophysilogical findings and techniques, treatment methods, complications and one year follow-up data were recorded. RESULTS: 269 patients (109 male) were evaluated in the study. Mean age was 47,74 ± 14.87. 196;35;18;20 patients underwent RFCA procedure for AVNRT;AVRT;AT;AFL, respectively. 3 patients had unsuccessful procedure (1 AT, 1 AVNRT, 1 AVRT). In 7 patients recurrences occurred ( 2 AT, 2 AVNRT, 2 AVRT,1 AFL) within 12 months after the ablation procedure. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: RFCA is a safe and effective approach for the treatment of SVT with an acceptable success rate and low complication rate. Our results are compatible with internatinal literature.
