Selective catheter ablation of the tachycardia focus in patients with nonreentrant junctional tachycardia

Am J Cardiol. 1996 Dec 1;78(11):1292-7. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(96)00616-9.

Abstract

We describe a technique for ablation of junctional tachycardia focus by means of examining the earliest atrial activation sequence during tachycardia. The procedure was successful in 7 of 9 patients, and 1 developed complete atrioventricular block.
