Brief Summary

Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia is best treated with catheter ablation aimed at disruption of conduction of the slow pathway. There are currently two possible options for this ablation: radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. The first seems to result in superior success rate, however carries a small risk of collateral damage of the heart conduction system, specifically the atrioventricular (AV) node. Cryoablation seems less effective, but safer as AV nodal damage can be avoided. The aim of this study is to prospectively test possible improved efficcacy of cryoablation of the slow pathway with the use intraprocedural intracardiac echocardiography.

Conditions

Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia

Keywords

  Noninducibility of AVNRT after cryoablation with programmed and fast atrial stimulation

  up to 1 day

• Arrhythmia free survival

  Absence of AVNRT episodes during follow-up

  12 months

Eligibility Criteria

Study Population

All adult and pediatric patients with the body weight above 15 kg with documented regular narrow QRS complex tachycardia referred for catheter ablation in accordance with current guidelines (EHRA, AEPC and/or HRS).

You may qualify if:

• ECG or holter ECG evidence of regular narrow QRS complex tachycardia, intraprocedural pacing maneuvers in sinus rhythm and during ongoing tachycardia indicating presence of AVNRT
