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.

D013611 Tachycardia, Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Abnormally rapid heartbeats caused by reentry of atrial impulse into the dual (fast and slow) pathways of ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE. The common type involves a blocked atrial impulse in the slow pathway which reenters the fast pathway in a retrograde direction and simultaneously conducts to the atria and the ventricles leading to rapid HEART RATE of 150-250 beats per minute.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
