Implication

Hypothesis-generating for slow-pathway ablation as rate control in AVNRT with AF; leaves open clinical adoption pending controlled trials.

Does selective slow-pathway ablation reduce the ventricular rate during induced atrial fibrillation in patients with AVNRT?

Population

18 patients with documented sustained atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), mean age 34 +/- 8 years.

Intervention

Selective radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular nodal slow pathway using a stepwise approach.

Comparator

Baseline assessment before selective slow-pathway ablation.

Outcome

Ventricular rate (mean, shortest, and longest cycle lengths of the ventricular response) during induced atrial fibrillation.surrogate

Selective slow-pathway ablation significantly decreases the ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation in patients with AVNRT by prolonging AV nodal conduction properties and refractoriness.
