Key result
Rapid atrial pacing during radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway was acutely successful in 96% of patients, with no cases of transient or permanent AVN block.

Does rapid atrial pacing during slow pathway ablation safely ensure normal antegrade AVN function in pediatric patients with AVNRT?
Rapid atrial pacing during junctional rhythm in slow pathway ablation is a safe and effective technique to monitor antegrade AV node function and prevent AV block in pediatric patients.
Liberman et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (n=58). Rapid atrial pacing during radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Acutely successful radiofrequency catheter ablation. Rapid atrial pacing during radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway was acutely successful in 96% of patients, with no cases of transient or permanent AVN block.
