[Radiofrequency ablation of supraventricular tachycardias].
Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been established as a non-surgical curative treatment modality for the management of patients with paroxismal supraventricular tachycardia. Success rates for atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia and accessory pathway-mediated macroreentrant tachycardia exceed 95%. Results in patients with atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia are encouraging, with success rates exceeding 75%.
