Follow-up
All three patients were followed up for at least 3 months after
successful ablation. Surface ECGs were checked in a month after ablation
to confirm that no clinically significant AV conduction block took
place. If the patients complained of palpitation, they were informed to
come back for further examination like tranesophageal atrial programmed
pacing. Patients were also advised to go to the emergency room
immediately whenever they suffered from symptoms related to SVT to
record real-time surface ECGs. If the patient was confirmed to have
recurrences, he/she was advised to undergo a repeat ablation procedure.
