[Paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia/Methods ] |
Paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia can be easily cured with one- time or two-time cauterization as long as the sources of the problem are identified: the site that causes the tachycardia and its pathway. Cauterization is also technically easier than atrial fibrillation ablation, and the frequencies of recurrence and complications are extremely low with this treatment method. |
 |
1) Atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (WPW syndrome) Tachycardia can be permanently cured by finding an accessory conduction pathway (kent bundle) that causes a tachycardia circuit in an electrophysiologic test and then cauterizing the site with an ablation catheter. |
 |
2) Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia Tachycardia can be permanently cured by finding a slow conduction pathway that causes a tachycardia circuit in an electrophysiologic test and then cauterizing the site with an ablation catheter. |
 |
| 3) Atrial tachycardia Tachycardia can be permanently cured by finding a site that causes atrial tachycardia in an electrophysiologic test and then cauterizing the site with an ablation catheter. |
