Abstract:
Slow pathway (SP) ablation is an established therapy for slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), with high success and low recurrence rates. We report a case in which a complex signal identification (CSI) map with the CARTO system was used during slow-fast AVNRT to localize a fractionated region near the coronary sinus ostium that coincided with the successful SP ablation site.
Insights
Slow pathway ablation effectively treats slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). A complex signal identification map precisely located the ablation target near the coronary sinus ostium for successful treatment.

Background:
- Slow pathway (SP) ablation is a standard treatment for slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT).
- High success rates and low recurrence characterize established SP ablation therapies.
