Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Slow Pathway Cryoablation
Sponsor: University Medical Centre Ljubljana
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.
