CASE REPORT

Left-septal ablation of the fast pathway in AV nodal reentrant tachycardia refractory to right septal ablation

In more than 95% of patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), curative treatment can be achieved with selective ablation of the slow pathway in the right-sided septum. We report a patient with typical AVNRT who had failed attempts to perform conventional right septal ablation of the slow as well as of the fast pathway and finally underwent successful ablation of the fast pathway on the left side of the interatrial septum using a transseptal approach.

Key Words: atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, left-septal ablation, fast pathway
