%X Aim: Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) formed by the presence of accessory pathway accounts for about one quarter of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias. In our retrospective study, demographic characteristics, etiological factors and complication rates of patients undergoing AVRT ablation were reported in a high-volume center where catheter ablation was performed. Material and Methods: In our cardiology clinic, between January 2014 and January 2018, 1107 patients who underwent SVT ablation were screened and 232 WPW patients with catheter ablation were included in the study. These patients were evaluated in terms of their demographic characteristics, etiological factors, accessory path localizations, operation success and complication development. Results: The mean age of the patients was 38 ¡À 16.1 and the female gender percentage was 37.1. The most common localization was found to be left accessory origin (53.1%). While the complication rate was 3.3% in all patients, the most common complication was seen as a site of hematoma (2.1%). Discussion: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a group of diseases that can affect all age groups and can impair the quality of life. The second most common of this group is AVRT. Catheter ablation, is the known curative treatment of it. The number of physicians performing ablation treatment and the number of centers in which the procedure is performed increase. Our experience with AVRT ablation was reported with this study
