BRUGADA, J., et al. : Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of an Incessant Supraventricular Tachycardia in a Premature Neonate. A 32‐week, premature neonate with incessant supraventricular tachycardia and hemodynamic compromise who failed to respond to antenatal and postnatal antiarrhythmic therapy underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RCA) of a concealed left free‐wall accessory pathway when the infant was 4‐days‐old and weighed only 1,840 grams. At follow‐up performed 60 days after the procedure, the infant remained free of any drug, in sinus rhythm, and in normal hemodynamic condition.
