2010, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :However, the incidence of transient complete AV block during slow pathway ablation remains significant, approximately in 24% of cases [5–9]. Unless the delivery of the radiofrequency energy is immediately interrupted, the risk of permanent damage to normal AV conduction is significantly high [6–9]. This raises the possibility that radiofrequency energy may damage the AV node or its arterial supply (AVNA) [10], a potential complication that should be considered while planning various procedures.
