Results
We identified 66 patients who underwent AVN ablation, out of which 31
were female (47%). The patients were elderly, with a mean age of 73.27
years. The indications were resistant atrial fibrillation in 74%,
atrial flutter in 18%, and other atrial tachycardias in 8% of
patients. Types of catheters used were plain non irrigated in 48%, EI
in 2%, LPLD in 16%, and HPSD in 34% of patients. All ablation
procedures were successful with no immediate post-procedure
complications. Regarding lesion time, HPSD was significantly shorter
compared to plain catheters by 403.42s[-631.67, -175.17].
