Abstract Background: Cryoablation of accessory pathways (APs) is effective and very safe in children, as previously
reported by our group. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the current efficacy of 3D non-fluoroscopic cryoablation of right sided APs in children, comparing results obtained with the Ensite VelocityTM and the
more recent Ensite PrecisionTM 3D mapping systems. Methods and Results: From January 2016 to December
2019, 102 pediatric patients [mean age 12.5 ± 2.8, 62 males (61% of total cohort)] with right APs underwent
3D non-fluoroscopic transcatheter cryoablation at our Institution. Fifteen (14.7%) patients had previously undergone catheter… More >
