    The study evaluated minimally invasive transaxillary atrial appendage resection for pediatric focal atrial tachycardia originating from the atrial appendage.

  • 2

    Out of 27 pediatric patients with atrial tachycardia, 6 were confirmed to have atrial appendage tachycardia, with 5 undergoing appendage resection.

  • 3

    All patients in the appendage resection group achieved immediate termination of atrial tachycardia and restoration of sinus rhythm.

  • 4

    At a median follow-up of 13 months, no recurrence or complications were observed in the appendage resection group.

  • 5

    Left ventricular ejection fraction improved significantly in tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy patients after appendage resection.
