PO-02-128 REDO PROCEDURES AFTER SINUS NODE SPARING HYBRID ABLATION FOR INAPPROPRIATE SINUS TACHYCARDIA / POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC SINUS TACHYCARDIA

HeartRhythm

A novel sinus node (SN) sparing hybrid ablation for inappropriate sinus node tachycardia (IST)/Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) has been demonstrated to be an effective and safe therapeutic option in patients with symptomatic drug-resistant IST/POTS.
