Abstract

The authors report the case of radiofrequency ablation of atrioventricular conduction in a 5 months pregnant woman who had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The indication of this procedure was a poorly tolerated resistant supraventricular tachycardia with foetal distress. A dual-chamber rate-assisted pacemaker programmed in the VVIR mode was implanted during the same procedure normally, with normal delivery of a healthy child at 8 months' gestation.
