Outcomes of Ventricular Tachycardia Catheter Ablation in Pediatric Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
Pediatric arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy RFCA is safe, but early recurrences are common, requiring repeat ablations and sometimes bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation. The substrate is mostly epicardial with preserved endocardial voltage. VT free survival is 73% after multiple procedures. Progressive heart failure requiring transplantation occurred in 13% within 2 decades of initial presentation.
