Surgery for supraventricular tachycardia and congenital heart defects: long-term efficacy of the combined approach in adult patients

ConclusionSurgical treatment of unresponsive supraventricular arrhythmia during concomitant cardiac surgery in ACHD is a safe and effective procedure. Freedom from arrhythmias recurrence is 75% after 6 years of follow-up. Long-term recurrence of arrhythmia in these patients seems to be strongly correlated to preoperative arrhythmia duration.
