The mean number of junctional beats was significantly lower in the magnetic navigation group (66 ± 94.9) compared to the conventional control group (200 ± 243.1) (P = 0.019).

Overview

Fewer junctional beats with magnetic navigation in AVNRT ablation; hypothesis-generating for junctional rhythm as non-mandatory success marker, needing randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does magnetic remote catheter ablation reduce the occurrence of junctional rhythm compared to conventional manual ablation in patients with AVNRT?

Population

37 patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) undergoing slow pathway ablation.

Intervention

Slow pathway radiofrequency ablation using a magnetic navigation (MN) system (Niobe, Stereotaxis Inc.) with a 4-mm nonirrigated tip catheter (maximum 30 W and 60 degrees C).

Comparator

Conventional manual slow pathway radiofrequency ablation with a 4-mm nonirrigated tip catheter (maximum 30 W and 60 degrees C).

Outcome

Occurrence and number of junctional beats (JB) during ablation.surrogate

Magnetic remote catheter ablation for AVNRT is effective and produces significantly fewer junctional beats than conventional manual ablation, suggesting junctional rhythm is not a mandatory indicator of success with this system.
