“…The efficacy and benefits of RFCA for SVT in children have been well demonstrated (4,23,24). RFCA can be used as an effective alternative to medical therapy in children older than 5 years of age and is recommended when medical therapy is either not effective or associated with intolerable adverse effects in those under 5 years of age, including infants.…”

“…For narrow-complex SVT, there are 3 mechanisms that can produce this effect: atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), and atrial ectopic tachycardia. 28 AVRT involves a reentrant circuit that directly connects the atria and ventricles and tends to predominate in infants and younger children. This type of SVT includes Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome (WPW).…”
