Pediheart Podcast #298: Do Children Need Aspirin Following Left-Sided SVT Ablations?
Listen now
Description
In this week's podcast, we discuss a work that tries to challenge convention when we review a recent work from the team at Emory University about anticoagulation following left sided ablation of SVT in children. A short course of aspirin is commonly prescribed in this setting but what is the evidence for this? How do patients who receive aspirin fare vs. those who do not? Are there some patients in which aspirin might be more 'useful' than others? Is there adequate equipoise to consider a multicenter trial? Is that even necessary? Joining us to discuss this and more about this topic is Dr. Vincent Palmieri, senior electrophysiology fellow at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  doi: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2024.01.004.
