Abstract
An infant with congenital junctional ectopic tachyardia required frequent hospitalizations due to tachycardia acceleration despite multiple antiarrhythmic medications. At 9 months of age, he underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of the tachycardia with preservation of AV conduction.Keywords
