Abstract Background Atrio-ventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most common supraventricular arrhythmias. Transcatheter ablation is the first-choice strategy for its treatment. Despite various ablation techniques, using different signal analyses and different energy sources, the reported incidence rate of AVNRT recurrences and high-grade or complete atrioventricular block are about 5% and 1% respectively. Voltage mapping for slow pathway localization is a novel technique for the treatment of AVNRT, that may increase procedural safety and effectiveness, particularly in pediatric patients. Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ablation of slow conduction pathway identified via three-dimensional voltage mapping of Koch’s triangle. Methods 108 consecutive patients (45% male, mean age 58.6±15.4 years) scheduled for AVNRT ablation in our center underwent three-dimensional voltage mapping of the right atrial septum and Koch’s triangle. Voltage map was aimed at detecting an area of low voltage (voltage bridge) below the His bundle (adjusting the high-voltage slider to 1,5 mV), corresponding to the slow conduction pathway. Focusing on this target, we evaluated the number of radiofrequency (RF) pulses and RF time application for effective ablation of the slow conduction pathway defined by accelerated junctional rhythm (AJR) induction during RF delivery and absence of post-ablative AVNRT inducibility. After RF ablation, all patients underwent clinical evaluation every 3 months to identify AVNRT recurrences. Results Voltage mapping was performed in all patients. The mean duration of mapping was 5.7±3.8 minutes. In all patients, a low voltage bridge could be identified. Using this target, RF was delivered until AJR was elicited (mean number of RF pulses at 30W, 50°C = 1.5±1.1; mean time to AJR: 25±12 s). After successful ablation of the slow conduction pathway, AVNRT was no more inducible. No atrioventricular conduction defect (atrioventricular block of any grade) occurred after RF ablation in any patient (AH pre vs. AH post: 148.5±22.8 ms vs. 153.6±17.8 ms, p=n.s.; HV pre vs. HV post: 20.5±18.7 ms vs. 21.8±17.3 ms, p=n.s.; Wenkebach point pre vs. Wenkebach point post: 320.4±45.3 ms vs. 326.2±38.7 ms, p=n.s.). All patients were discharged without antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Overall, during a 2-year follow up, 4 patients had a recurrence of AVNRT (incidence rate of recurrences: 0.025/year). Conclusions Voltage mapping can easily identify the low voltage bridge area of Koch’s triangle as a target for slow pathway ablation. RF ablation of the slow pathway identified in this way is safe and effective. Success in slow pathway ablation can be achieved with a low number of very precise RF pulses. This approach can prevent the risk of ablation-related atrioventricular conduction defects and reduce the risk of AVNRT recurrences.
