Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias during pregnancy are rare; however, it can be a therapeutic challenge because of limitations about use of antiarrhythmic drug therapy and catheter ablation indication, due to the risk of radiation exposure to the fetus and the mother. We present the case of a pregnant woman with Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome with recurrent episodes of tachycardia, refractory to antiarrhythmic drug therapy, who underwent catheter ablation of a left lateral accessory pathway without the use of fluoroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
