Catheter ablation of SVT has emerged as a curative treatment with high success rates and plays a central role in the management of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).This short review aims to give an update on the outcomes of catheter ablation and provide a guide to appropriate decision making in patients with SVT.
Mechanisms of SVT
Tachycardias can be categorized as ventricular (involving the…

Introduction
Compared with patients with structurally normal hearts, there is an even greater need to suppress pathologic tachycardias in patients with congenital heart disease. The decrease in diastolic filling time and potential loss of atrioventricular (AV) synchrony are more poorly tolerated in these patients, proportionate to the degree of underlying systolic and diastolic dysfunction…

Catheter ablation is the mainstay of treatment in the management of cardiac arrhythmias. The number of catheter ablation procedures performed worldwide in the past 25 years has significantly increased and is expected to increase further. Cardiac ablation requires catheters to be advanced and manipulated within cardiovascular structures. This manipulation has traditionally been performed under…

Abstract
The goal of infrapopliteal endovascular therapy is the re-establishment of straight-line flow to the foot with adequate perfusion of tissue. This treatment should be the first method in properly selected patients to relieve ischemic rest pain, heal ulcers and prevent limb loss, improving quality of life. Percutaneous angioplasty (PTA) continues to be the cornerstone of infrapopliteal…
