Successful Radiofrequency Ablation of a Slow Atrioventricular Nodal Pathway on the Left Posterior Atrial Septum
Key Result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the left atrial posteroseptal region successfully eliminated 'slow-fast' atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia after unsuccessful attempts on the right side.

Case Report (n=1)
PICO
Population
A single patient with 'slow-fast' atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
Intervention / Comparator
Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the left atrial posteroseptal region vs Traditional site on the right side (prior unsuccessful attempts)
Primary Outcome
Elimination of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia
Abstract
RF catheter ablation is highly effective in eliminating atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia by targeting the slow pathway in the posteroinferior part of Koch's triangle in the right atrium. We report here a patient in whom "slow-fast" atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia was eliminated only by ablation of the slow pathway in the left atrial posteroseptal region at the level of the mitral annulus after unsuccessful attempts at the traditional site on the right side.
