Literature was reviewed regarding catheter ablation for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (psvt).The authors described one ablation procedure failure; the patient experienced junctional tachycardia during the energy application.The procedure was ended due to impaired atrioventricular node function.There were two patients with complications from the procedure.One patient developed sustained atrioventricular block.The initial 2:1 atrioventricular block, with a right bundle branch block pattern, evolved into a complete atrioventricular block.A temporary pacemaker was inserted initially, but then changed to a permanent pacemaker after no resolution from the av block after twenty-four hours.Another patient experienced a puncture site hematoma which was resolved by manual compression.The status of the catheters is unknown.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
