Overview

Supports feasibility of selective fast pathway ablation in AVNRT with prolonged PR; leaves open need for larger prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does selective fast pathway ablation safely prevent AVNRT without causing high-degree AV block in patients with common AVNRT and a prolonged PR interval?

P
Population
5 patients with the common form of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and a prolonged PR interval during sinus rhythm
I
Intervention
Selective fast pathway radiofrequency catheter ablation
O
Outcome
Safety (occurrence of second- or third-degree atrioventricular block) and efficacy (non-inducibility of common AVNRT)safety

Selective fast pathway ablation appears to be a safe and effective treatment for AVNRT in patients with a prolonged PR interval, without inducing complete AV block.
