Deep sedation in patients undergoing atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia ablation

Deep Sedation In Patients Undergoing Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia Ablation

BACKGROUND General anesthesia and deep sedation can be used during cardiac EPS to relief pain and provide comfort and immobility, but many electrophysiologists avoid sedation for better arrhythmia induction. OBJECTIVE To determine anesthesia effects in ablation procedures in adults, we used intravenous anesthetic agents in patients who underwent slow pathway ablation. PATIENTS AND METHODS O...

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia

coronary sinus selectively affect slow pathway function. The current study compares the safety, efficacy, and electrophysiological effects of these two techniques in a prospective, randomized fashion. Methods and Results. Fifty consecutive patients with typical AVNRT were randomly assigned to receive radiofrequency lesions either anteriorly (n=22) or posteriorly (n=28). If the initial approach ...

Plasma natriuretic peptides during supraventricular tachycardia: A study in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia

Aims: To characterize the plasma levels of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT), we measured the plasma levels of these peptides before and during tachycardia. Methods: We included 10 consecutive patients scheduled for ablation of typical AVNRT without structural heart disease. Catheters were...
