Abstract :
The ability of transvenous cryothermal catheter ablation to create reversible lesions (cryomapping) and to avoid catheter dislodgment (cryoadherence) has been shown to be safe and highly effective in elimination of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. In addition, cryoablation may be useful in the management of perinodal accessory pathways, but its efficacy and safety in patients at high risk of atrioventricular block during radiofrequency catheter ablation is unknown. This study prospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of cryoablation in patients with midseptal and parahissian accessory pathways.
