Does transcatheter Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation from the aortic root produce AV conduction block in dogs?
Transcatheter Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation from the aortic root is a fast, simple, and safe method for creating AV conduction block in a canine model.
Littmann et al. (1993) studied this question.
