ABSTRACT
Electrophysiology study (EPS) and catheter ablation (CA) in children and adolescents carries a potentially harmful effect of radiation exposure when performed with the use of fluoroscopy. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of fluoroless EPS and CA of various supra-ventricular tachycardias (SVTs) with the use of the 3D mapping system and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Forty-three consecutive children and adolescents (age 13 ± 3 years) underwent fluoroless EPS and CA for various supra-ventricular tachycardias. A three-dimensional (3D) mapping system NavX™ was used for guidance of diagnostic and ablation catheters in the heart. ICE was used as a fundamental imaging tool for transseptal punctures. Acute procedural success rate was 100 %. There were no procedure related complications and short-term follow up (10 ± 3 months) revealed 93 % arrhythmia free survival rate. Fluoroless CA of various SVTs in the paediatric population is feasible, safe and can be performed successfully with 3D mapping system and ICE.
