Does electroanatomically guided vagal ganglia ablation improve AV conduction and symptoms in a patient with functional AVB?
Electroanatomically guided vagal ganglia ablation may be a viable alternative to pacemaker implantation in selected patients with functional AV block.
Tolga Aksu (2017) conducted a case report in Functional atrioventricular block (n=1). Electroanatomically guided vagal ganglia ablation was evaluated on Resolution of atrioventricular block and symptoms. Electroanatomically guided vagal ganglia ablation successfully restored 1:1 atrioventricular conduction and eliminated syncope in a patient with functional AV block over 9 months of follow-up.
