摘要
AV Nodal Behavior After Ablation. Introduction: The objective of this report is to delineate the atrioventricular (AV) nodal electrophysiologic behavior in patients undergoing fast or slow pathway ablation for control of their AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Methods and Results: One hundred sixteen consecutive patients with symptomatic AVNRT were included. Twenty-two patients underwent fast pathway ablation with complete abolition of AVNRT in all and development of complete AV block in five patients. Of 17 patients with intact AV conduction postablation, 12 had demonstrated antegrade dual pathway physiology during baseline study, which was maintained in three and lost in nine patients postablation. Two patients with successful fast pathway ablation developed uncommon AVNRT necessitating a slow pathway ablation. Twenty-one patients demonstrated both common and uncommon forms of AV nodal reentry during baseline study. The earliest site of atrial activation was close to the His-bundle recording site (anterior interatrial septum) during common variety and the coronary sinus ostium (posterior interatrial septum) during the uncommon AV nodal reentry in all 21 patients. Ninety-six patients underwent successful slow pathway ablation. Among these, the antegrade dual pathway physiology demonstrable during baseline study (60 patients) was maintained in 25 and lost in 35 patients postablation. Conclusion: These data suggest that: (1) dual pathway physiology may persist after successful ablation, which might be a reflection of multiple reentrant pathways in patients with AVNRT; and (2) the retrograde pathways during common and uncommon AVNRT have anatomically separate atrial breakthroughs. These findings have important electrophysiologic implications regarding the prevailing concept of the AV nodal physiology in patients with AVNRT.
