Overview

Supports feasibility of slow pathway ablation for atypical AVNRT; leaves open need for prospective validation in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does radiofrequency ablation of the slow AV nodal pathway safely and effectively treat atypical AVNRT in affected patients?

P
Population
10 consecutive patients with atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), mean age 44 +/- 19 years, 9 females and 1 male.
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency ablation of the 'slow' AV nodal pathway
O
Outcome
Successful ablation of the slow pathway

Radiofrequency ablation of the slow AV nodal pathway is a safe and effective treatment for atypical AVNRT, with high success rates regardless of the mapping strategy used.
