| Abstract | The article investigates the effect of Swartz sheath on raising the success rate of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). In 47 patients with PSVT failed by conventional RFCA techniques, SR(0) Swartz sheath was utilized in ablation of patients with right atrial tachycardia (AT) and slow atrioventricular nodal pathway in atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), SL(1) Swartz sheath was utilized in left accessory pathway (AP) in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), SR(1-3) Swartz sheath was separately utilized in different right AP. The results showed that RFCA of 46 patients with PSVT was successful after utilizing Swartz sheath. It was suggested that the use of Swartz sheath may greatly raised the success rate of RFCA of PSVT. |
