Why the study?
Pacemaker implantation after AVNRT ablation is a dreadful complication, but the periprocedural, early, and late risks needed assessment.
Does AVNRT ablation increase the risk of pacemaker implantation compared to matched controls?
Does AVNRT ablation increase the risk of pacemaker implantation compared to matched controls?
AVNRT ablation is associated with a persistently increased risk of pacemaker implantation across periprocedural, early, and late follow-up periods compared to matched controls.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
AVNRT warrants closer conduction surveillance; observational data leaves open ablation causality versus intrinsic disease.
