Cryothermal Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in a Pediatric Patient after Atrioventricular Canal Repair
Key result
Cryothermal catheter ablation using a steerable catheter safely and effectively treated atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a pediatric patient with a repaired septal defect.

Population
A 12-year-old patient with a previously repaired partial atrioventricular septal defect and inducible atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
I
Intervention
Cryothermal catheter ablation (modification of the slow atrioventricular nodal pathway) using a steerable catheter
O
Outcome
Successful modification of the slow atrioventricular nodal pathway and treatment of tachycardia
Cryothermal catheter ablation using a steerable catheter can be safely and effectively used to treat atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in pediatric patients with repaired partial atrioventricular septal defects.

Rausch et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n=1). Cryothermal catheter ablation was evaluated on Treatment of tachycardia. Cryothermal catheter ablation using a steerable catheter safely and effectively treated atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a pediatric patient with a repaired septal defect.
