Key result
Cardioneuroablation successfully restored AV conduction in a 40-year-old woman with symptomatic advanced AV block, with results remaining unchanged over 2 years of follow-up.

Does cardioneuroablation restore AV conduction in a young patient with symptomatic advanced AV block?
Cardioneuroablation may be a viable and effective alternative to pacemaker implantation for the treatment of functional bradyarrhythmias in young patients.
May avoid pacing in young patients with functional AV block; leaves open need for prospective trials.
A 40-year-old woman with symptomatic advanced atrioventricular (AV) block underwent cardioneuroablation (CNA) for the treatment of functional bradyarrhythmia, following the exclusion of reversible causes and intrinsic disease of the conduction system. Selective ablation of ganglia related to the AV node, performed exclusively in the left atrium, restored AV conduction, which has remained unchanged with 2 years of follow-up. CNA is a viable and effective option with low risk for the treatment of functional bradyarrhythmias, regardless of their severity.

May et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Symptomatic advanced atrioventricular (AV) block (n=1). Cardioneuroablation (CNA) was evaluated on Restoration of AV conduction. Cardioneuroablation successfully restored AV conduction in a 40-year-old woman with symptomatic advanced AV block, with results remaining unchanged over 2 years of follow-up.
