Late effects of radiofrequency ablation lesions resulting in a progressive mitral valve perforation in a 2-month-old infant
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2019
Abstract
There has been great concern with the use of radiofrequency ablation in infants since radiofrequency ablation lesions were shown to have a progressing nature in immature myocardium of animals. In this report, we present a 2-month-old infant with life-threatening medically refractory supraventricular tachycardia. Radiofrequency ablation successfully cured arrhythmia; however, late effects of radiofrequency ablation lesions resulted in a progressive mitral valve perforation requiring surgical repair.
