title: Selective catheter ablation of the tachycardia focus in patients with nonreentrant junctional tachycardia.
abstract: We describe a technique for ablation of junctional tachycardia focus by means of examining the earliest atrial activation sequence during tachycardia. The procedure was successful in 7 of 9 patients, and 1 developed complete atrioventricular block.
