Key result
A technique producing a linear radiofrequency lesion perpendicular to the slow pathway rendered 100% (30 of 30) of patients with common AV nodal reentry noninducible using 1 to 3 applications.

Does a linear radiofrequency lesion in the mid-portion of Koch's triangle prevent AV nodal reentry in patients with common AV nodal reentry?
A linear radiofrequency ablation technique targeting the slow pathway in Koch's triangle effectively renders AV nodal reentry noninducible with low recurrence rates.
Moulton et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Common AV nodal reentry (n=30). Radiofrequency catheter ablation producing a linear RF lesion was evaluated on Rendering patients noninducible. A technique producing a linear radiofrequency lesion perpendicular to the slow pathway rendered 100% (30 of 30) of patients with common AV nodal reentry noninducible using 1 to 3 applications.
