A novel 3D-guided workflow for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation is safe and effective. This standardized approach achieved 100% acute success with no heart block, eliminating fluoroscopy use.

Area of Science:

Electrophysiology
Cardiac Ablation

Background:

Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation is effective but risks heart block.
A standardized, 3D-guided workflow for AVNRT ablation is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To define a standardized, safety-driven, 3D-guided workflow for AVNRT ablation.
To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of this approach in a day-hospital setting.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 150 AVNRT patients undergoing ablation (2017-2025).
Utilized the PICENO AVNRT approach integrating Koch's triangle pace mapping and voltage-bridge mapping.
Standardized 3D-guided, safety-driven workflow without fluoroscopy.

Main Results:

Keywords:

100% acute procedural success.

Zero cases of transient or permanent atrioventricular block.

0.7% recurrence rate at 30.5 months follow-up.

Mean procedure time: 62 ± 14 minutes.

Conclusions:

A standardized 3D-guided workflow for AVNRT ablation is feasible and reproducible.
This safety-driven approach achieves excellent outcomes in a day-hospital setting.
Elimination of fluoroscopy is possible due to procedural reliability.
