Practice makes perfect: relationship between hospital procedure volume and permanent pacemaker implantation after paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia ablation

Purpose Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) ablation can result in injury to the atrioventricular (AV) node causing complete heart block requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. Few studies have examined the impact of hospital PSVT ablation volume and PPM implantation rates post ablation.
