Abstract
|
|
|
|
Radiofrequency catheter ablation therapy has been demonstrated to be successful in over 95% of patients with supraventricular tachycardia. Catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is usually performed by slow pathway ablation. Two techniques have been used for successfully slow pathway ablation (an anatomic approach and an electrogram-guided approach). Usually, an accessory pathway is the target of ablation in patients with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia. The best site for ablation of an accessory pathway is where it crosses the annulus. Localization and elimination of the accessory pathway can be achieved with detailed mapping.
