[10-year experience with correction of supraventricular tachycardia].

The results of a 10-year experience in surgical treatment of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in 258 patients are analysed. Invasive and noninvasive methods of electrophysiological studies with the predominant use of Soviet-produced apparatuses were employed in establishing the diagnosis. Surgery of arrhythmias included catheter destruction, cryosurgery on a working heart, but the prevailing methods were various types of destruction of anomalous conducting paths under conditions of extracorporeal circulation.
