Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation was attempted in a 30-year-old woman with atrioventricular (AV) node reentry of the common variety. Energy was delivered to ablate a fast pathway. After energy delivery, the atrio-His interval prolonged following transient AV node block. Retrograde conduction was no longer present. However, dual AV nodal physiology and AV node reentry with similar retrograde atrial activation sequence could be shown post-ablation. These observations suggest that both fast and lower common pathways were partially damaged by ablation.
