BackgroundCryoablation for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is favored for reducing conduction system injury compared to radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The safety advantage of cryoablation over RF ablation primarily results from studies conducted without a three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (3D EAM) system.

Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation – ‘pace and ablate’ – may be considered for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) for whom rhythm control has been unsuccessful. Conduction-system pacing mitigates PICM, so we expect a greater uptake of AVN ablation going forward.
