PREAMBLE In 2002, an expert consensus statement was published on catheter ablation in
children and adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), based on a conference held at the …

The establishment of radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques as the mainstay in the
treatment of tachycardia has renewed new interest in cardiac anatomy. The interventional …

Objectives This study is designed to examine the immediate and short-term outcomes of
patients who have undergone slow pathway ablation/modification for atrioventricular nodal …

Aims The objective of this prospective study was to assess risk factors for the development of
atrioventricular block following slow pathway modification in patients with atrioventricular …

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 electrophysiological features and roles of persistent left superior vena cava
(PLSVC) in supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are not known. Objective The purpose of this …

Objectives: Identify the clinical picture that indicates the use of EPS. Summarize the
equipment, personnel, preparation, and technique regarding the EPS. Review the …

Lower Turnaround Point of AVNRT. Introduction: Recent observations suggest that the
circuit of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) may extend down to the His bundle. The …

Junctional Rhythm and Slow Pathway Ablation. Introduction: Junctional rhythm usually is
considered a sensitive hut nonspecific marker of successful ablation of the slow pathway in …

Aims The site of successful ablation of the slow atrioventricular (AV) nodal pathway may be
located in the posteroseptal or midseptal area. We have previously shown that the site of …
