Supports cryoablation for AVNRT; complete slow pathway elimination may lower recurrence but requires randomized confirmation.
Does cryoablation improve acute success and prevent recurrence in patients with typical AVNRT?
Cryoablation for typical AVNRT is highly effective and safe, with complete elimination of slow pathway conduction predicting lower recurrence rates.
Bastani et al. (2009) studied this question.
