Supports slow pathway ablation as AVNRT standard; leaves open need for updated randomized trials.
This historical review highlights the evolution of the understanding and treatment of AV nodal reentry tachycardia, culminating in the current standard of slow pathway catheter ablation.
Scheinman et al. (2005) conducted a review in AV nodal reentry (AVNRT). Catheter ablation was evaluated. Catheter ablation of the slow pathway emerged as a more effective and safer treatment for AV nodal reentry compared to initial fast pathway ablation and surgical dissection.
