Efficacy and safety of the application of extensive ablation in patients with atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia (a retrospective study)

Abstract Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become the standard effective therapy for supraventricular tachycardia, but the reported success rates of ablation have differed across a large number of single-center studies. The main reason for tachycardia recurrence is accessory pathway (Ap)-m...
