Article Synopsis
- Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) can return even after successful ablation of the slow pathway, prompting a study on recurrence reasons in 46 patients.
- The study found that while many patients initially had successful RF ablation targeting the rightward inferior extension (RIE), some still experienced recurrent AVNRT, with various types showing up in follow-up cases.
- Most recurrences were treated successfully again within the RIE area, and notably, the new successful ablation sites were often higher than where the initial procedure targeted.
Background: Recently, a novel contact force (CF) sensing catheter with mesh-shaped irrigation tip (TactiFlex SE, Abbott) was invented and is expected to be useful for safe and effective radiofrequency ablation. However, this catheter's detailed characteristics of the lesion formation are unknown.
Methods: With an in vitro model, TactiFlex SE and its predecessor, FlexAbility SE, were used.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 247 consecutive patients who underwent AF ablation in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018.
Background: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (tAVNRT) is performed without revealing out the location of antegrade slow pathway (ASp). In this study, we studied a new electrophysiological method of identifying the site of ASp.
Methods: This study included 19 patients.
