Implication

May support feasibility in refractory atrial arrhythmias; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.

Structured PICO

Does transcoronary alcohol ablation of atrioventricular conduction induce complete atrioventricular block in patients with refractory atrial arrhythmias?

Population

14 patients with refractory atrial arrhythmias

Intervention

Transcoronary ablation of atrioventricular conduction by dehydrated alcohol (0.5 or 1.0 ml) delivered via selective catheterisation of the atrioventricular nodal artery

Outcome

Development and persistence of complete atrioventricular block

Transcoronary alcohol ablation of the atrioventricular nodal artery can successfully induce complete AV block in patients with refractory atrial arrhythmias, with higher success using 1.0 ml of alcohol.
