摘要
Background: Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has been widely and successfully employed to cure adult and pediatric patients of a variety of arrhythmias. Only limited data exist which compare the results in these two groups. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of RF catheter ablation in pediatric versus adult patients performed by an adult electrophysiology (EP) team.
