Children undergoing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are believed to be at increased risk of
developing malignancy caused by radiation, although the magnitude of this risk is …

Deaths have been reported following radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), but the
mortality rate in children has not been defined. This study sought to analyze the incidence …

Background—Radiofrequency (RF) cardiac catheter ablation procedures may require
extended fluoroscopic exposure resulting in elevated radiation risk. The aim of the present …

Because RF catheter ablation procedures may be lengthy and are commonly performed in
young patients, concern has arisen about radiation dose in this group of patients. This article …

Background—Radiofrequency ablation may be associated with prolonged fluoroscopy
times. Previous studies have calculated radiation risks by measuring the radiation dose at a …

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of a group of closely
followed-up pediatric patients who had undergone radiofrequency ablation for cardiac …

This study reports findings from evaluations of new technologies to measure radiation
exposure during pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures. A strategy of pulsed …

Background The objective of this study was to determine the indications, the safety, and the
efficacy of pediatric radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in infants. Methods and Results …

For children with cardiac arrhythmias, the revolution that occurred with the development of
radiofrequency ablation techniques was perhaps even more dramatic than the revolution …
