Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a fluoroless Cardioneuroablation (CNA) approach in treating cardiac issues like syncope and AV block among 22 young patients (average age 21).
  • The procedure successfully eliminated or reduced the vagal response in all patients, with an average operation time of 251 minutes and fluoroscopy avoided in 91% of cases.
  • At follow-up (around 11.4 months later), 77% of patients were symptom-free, with 90% of those needing pacemakers not requiring further pacing, indicating a promising outcome without complications.
