Fluoroless catheter ablation of various right and left sided supra-ventricular tachycardias in children and adolescents.

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.
