[Treatment of AV-nodal reentry tachycardia by transcatheter radiofrequency ablation].
A case history is presented of a patient in whom an AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia was cured by the selective transcatheter ablation of the extranodal slow pathway. Recent anatomical and electrophysiological findings connected with the mechanism of AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia are presented, which permitted development of the transcatheter radio frequency AV-nodal modification. The Hungarian introduction of this therapeutic modality is recommended.
