Termination of slow-fast atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia by a single cryoablation of the slow pathway guided by a fractionation map.

Abstract

This is a slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) case wherein the fractionation map-guided cryoablation of the slow pathway (SP) successfully terminated the tachycardia. In this case, the Advisor™ HD Grid catheter and fractionation map in the EnSite™ X EP system with relatively high-sensitive settings were useful for detecting the target SP area. Direct AVNRT termination by cryomapping at the fractionated potential area might be a quick and safe ablation strategy, which may provide a new workflow for SP ablation.
