Key result
Junctional ectopic rhythm following AVNRT ablation occurred in 4.8% of patients in an institutional cohort, suggesting it may be an underreported complication compared to the 0.008% literature rate.

Junctional ectopic rhythm may occur more frequently after AVNRT ablation than recognized; leaves open confirmation of true incidence in prospective studies.

What is the incidence of junctional ectopic rhythm following AVNRT ablation?
Junctional ectopic rhythm is likely an underreported complication of AVNRT ablation, occurring in nearly 5% of patients in an institutional cohort compared to near-zero reported in literature.
Kusterer et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (n=37,667). AVNRT ablation was evaluated on Occurrence of junctional ectopic rhythm (JER) shortly after AVNRT ablation. Junctional ectopic rhythm following AVNRT ablation occurred in 4.8% of patients in an institutional cohort, suggesting it may be an underreported complication compared to the 0.008% literature rate.
