Biatrial isolation appears feasible for SVT in canines; extends preclinical data but leaves open human translation.
Does biatrial isolation preserve normal SA node function in a canine model?
Biatrial isolation is a feasible surgical treatment for supraventricular tachycardia that preserves normal sinus rhythm, provided the SA node blood supply is maintained.
Harada et al. (1990) studied this question.
