Our results and those of others (Table I) suggest that both anatomic and electrogram
(potential) approaches are highly successful in eliminating AVNRT. The use of slow …

BACKGROUND Two different techniques have been developed for radiofrequency catheter
ablation of typical atrioventricular nodal reentry (AVNRT). Lesions made anteriorly near the …

Radiofrequency lesions in the anterior, superior aspect of the tricuspid annulus result in
selective elimination of fast pathway function in patients with typical atrioventricular (AV) …

AV block can be elicited by different mechanisms5-15: a) inadvertent damage to the AV
node or His bundle; b) a lesion of both the fast and slow pathways during serial attempts at …

BACKGROUND The safety and efficacy of selective fast versus slow pathway ablation using
radiofrequency energy and a transcatheter technique in patients with atrioventricular nodal …

Previous studies have reported only short-term (6 to 10 months) follow-up after ablation of
atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia by using the anterior approach. The …

BACKGROUND--A specific local indicator in the Koch's triangle could be critical to the
complication-free treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia by transcatheter …

Background: Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia is the most frequent cause of regular,
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway has …

OBJECTIVE--To assess immediate and long term success of" fast" pathway catheter ablation
with graded use of radiofrequency energy in patients with classic atrioventricular nodal …

BACKGROUND Atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentry is a relatively common cause of regular,
narrow QRS tachycardia. The underlying basis for this arrhythmia is functional (and …
