- Interventional electrophysiology in patients with congenital heart disease(2014) MELO, S. L.; PISANI, C.; SOSA, E.; SCANAVACCA, M.In the last decade, radio-frequency catheter ablation of atrial and ventricular tachycardia has become progressively common, driven predominantly by increasing success and low complication rates. At the same time, there was no significant development in antiarrhythmic drug effectiveness that still present limited efficacy and frequent side effects. As patients with congenital heart disease that have undergone surgical repair or palliation have been getting older, a wide variety of rhythm disturbances have been detected. Although electrophysiological procedures often are problematic due to the complex anatomy of such patients, a high level of success can be achieved with careful attention to surgical history and modern imaging technology. Thus, nowadays, interventional electrophysiological techniques play a major role in their management. © 2014 Springer-Verlag London. All rights reserved.
