title: Catheter ablation of atrioventricular junction via retrograde route in a patient with single ventricle.
abstract: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction (AVJ) was performed by the retrograde route in a 19-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation and single ventricle following the bidirectional Glenn procedure. Two energy applications resulted in complete atrioventricular block and dependence on an epicardial ventricular pacemaker.
