[Clinical analysis of 19 cases of pregnant women with rapid arrhythmia in the treatment of radiofrequency catheter ablation].

Objective: To investigate the risk of radiofrequency catheter ablation and maternal and infant in pregnant women with rapid arrhythmia during pregnancy. Methods: The clinical data of the 19 cases of pregnancy complicated with rapid arrhythmia were retrospectively analyzed and followed up, including the gestational week, the type of arrhythmia, the treatment, and the outcome of the mother and child in Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2002 to March 2016. Results: (1)Clinical characteristics: the ages of the 19 cases were(31±4)years old(ranged from 26 to 35 years old), the onset gestational ages were(21±4)weeks(ranged from 15 to 32 weeks).

CLINICAL SYMPTOMS: paroxysmal palpitation, chest tightness, dizziness, and blurred vision. Arrhythmia types: 1 case of atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia, 1 case of atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, 1 case of atrial fibrillation, 3 cases of supraventricular tachycardia, 1 case of atrial tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia, 4 cases of ventricular tachycardia, 3 cases of ventricular premature beats and ventricular tachycardia, and 5 cases of atrial tachycardia. All cases were treated by drugs, but all failed 2 cases of them were performed esophageal pacing and cardioversion and also failed.(2)Treatment plan: 19 cases after treatment of arrhythmia, completely terminated, the first 7 patients(from 2002 to 2014)were operated in a small amount of radiation under the guidance, the other 12 patients(after 2015)were carried out in the Ensite NavX mapping system, whichwere operated with zero radiation. Complications and adverse reactions: 1 case of uterine contraction end operation and was gived magnesium sulfate 3 days intravenous inhibition of uterine contractions, 1 case occurred vagal reflex caused by reduced blood pressure and was gived fluid infusion utill normal blood pressure.(3)Maternal and neonatal outcomes: in addition 1 case of pregnancy to give up, the remaining 18 cases were full-term pregnant women, including 4 cases of vaginal delivery and 14 cases of cesarean section. The survival neonates were followed up for 1 to 14 years, average(2.0 ± 2.9)years. The infants were well developed during the follow-up period. Conclution: Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of pregnancy complicated with rapid arrhythmia.
