Successful cryoablation of junctional ectopic tachycardia is feasible in a 13.4kg, 18-month-old toddler.

Abstract

JET (junctional ectopic tachycardia) is a complicated and rare form of supraventricular tachycardia that is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Pharmaceutical management can be insufficient, and cryoablation has been described for congenital JET management. We describe cryoablation for congenital JET in an prior 32-week gestational aged, 18-month-old (corrected 16-month-old) with no JET post-ablation with normal Holter and follow-up within 6 months following cryoablation. This report demonstrates the safety and feasibility of cryoablation in patients as young as 18 months old.
