May suppress VT recurrence via slow pathway ablation in AVNRT-triggered ILVT; leaves open whether this extends beyond single-case reports.
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow atrioventricular nodal pathway prevent recurrence of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with coincident idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia and AVNRT?
Ablation of the slow AV nodal pathway can prevent spontaneous recurrence of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia when triggered by AVNRT.
Wagshal et al. (1994) studied this question.
