Abstract
MOLTEDO, José M.; CANNON, Bryan C.; KERTESZ, Naomi J. and FENRICH JR, Arnold L.. Daño reversible del nodo auriculoventricular durante la crioablación de una vía accesoria parahisiana en un niño con preexcitación intermitente. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2007, vol.75, n.5, pp.402-405. ISSN 1850-3748.
Reversible Damage of the Atrioventricular Node during Cryoablation of a para-Hissian Pathway in a Child with Intermittent Pre-excitation Syndrome Damage of the atrioventricular node (AVN) is one of the potential complications in radiofrequency ablation of para- Hissian accessory pathways. Cryotherapy, with reversibility potential at non extreme temperatures, may be an alternative in the ablation of these pathways. A child with intermittent pre-excitation syndrome, para-Hissian accessory pathway and a crisis of supraventricular paroxistic tachycardia was subjected to electrophysiological assessment, and cryoablation allowed removing the accessory pathway with preserved AVN integrity.
