Abstract:
Data about the long-term outcome after cryoablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) in the paediatric population indicate that recurrence rates are higher with cryo than with radiofrequency energy (RF). The purpose of this study was to review our institutional long-term outcome after cryoablation for AVNRT and to seek for predictors of recurrence.Forty-nine patients (28 female, age 14 ± 2.7 years) undergoing slow-pathway modulation or ablation for AVNRT at our institutio...     »
