Key result
In 1,303 cryoablation procedures for tachycardias near the AV node, transient AV block occurred in 12.1% of cases but resolved quickly, with no late AV block observed.
Why the study?
Is focal cryoablation adjacent to the AV node safe with respect to the risk of permanent AV block in patients with supraventricular tachycardias?
Population
1,303 patients undergoing cryoablation for tachycardias mediated by therapeutic targets located near the…

This editorial highlights that focal cryoablation adjacent to the AV node is highly safe, with transient AV block being a benign finding and no permanent AV block observed.

Pascal Defaye (2013) conducted an editorial in Tachycardias near the atrioventricular node (AVNRT, accessory pathways, atrial tachycardias) (n=1,303). Cryoablation was evaluated on Transient AV block. In 1,303 cryoablation procedures for tachycardias near the AV node, transient AV block occurred in 12.1% of cases but resolved quickly, with no late AV block observed.
