Abstract

140 patients with paroxysmal supraventricular reciprocating tachycardia were treated with the help of radio frequency ablation; results of treatment were analyzed. First group consisted of 76 patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, second group--64 patients with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia accompanied with WPW syndrome and preexcitation syndrome. In first group the operation ended up with success in 94.7%, in the second group--90.6%, after the second operation--100% and 96.1% relatively. Different complications in patients from the first group occured in 3.9%, in the second group--in 6.3%. Taking into account high effectivennes and safety of radio frequency ablation, it is recommended to reconsider principals of categorisation of fitness for service among conscripts and servicemen doing call-up and under the contract military service and also citizens, entering military educational institutions.
