Resumo

Junctional ectopic tachycardia is a relatively rare disorder, frequently refractory to drug therapy, and with a poor prognosis in childhood. This report describes a successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of the focus of this arrhythmia in a 9‐year‐old girl with preservation of normal atrioventricular conduction, using precise catheter navigation with the LocaLisa system and carefully titrated RF delivery.
