Key result
Standard right atrial radiofrequency ablation in the triangle of Koch successfully eliminated inducible AVNRT in 100% of patients with earliest retrograde atrial activation in the coronary sinus.
Why the study?
Does standard right atrial ablation prevent inducible AVNRT in patients with earliest retrograde atrial activation in the coronary sinus?
Cohort (n=225)
Yes
Does standard right atrial ablation prevent inducible AVNRT in patients with earliest retrograde atrial activation in the coronary sinus?
Standard right atrial ablation in the triangle of Koch is effective for AVNRT even when the earliest retrograde atrial activation is in the coronary sinus.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support standard right atrial ablation despite coronary sinus activation; challenges consensus but leaves open randomized confirmation.
Chen et al. (2004) conducted a cohort in AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (n=225). Standard right atrial radiofrequency ablation in the triangle of Koch was evaluated on Inducible AVNRT following radiofrequency ablation. Standard right atrial radiofrequency ablation in the triangle of Koch successfully eliminated inducible AVNRT in 100% of patients with earliest retrograde atrial activation in the coronary sinus.
