ATRIOVENTRICULAR JUNCTIONAL REENTRANT TACHYCARDIA UTILIZING MULTIPLE RETROGRADE FIBERS DURING ABLATION OF THE SLOW PATHWAY

This report deals with a patient with atrioventricular (AV) reentrant junctional tachycardia who, during radiofrequency ablation of her slow pathway, developed both anterior and posterior type of slow-fast atri oventricular nodal reentry; in both tachycardias different fibers were alternately utilized for retrograde conduction, thus resulting in alt ernating tachycardia cycle lengths. This observation provides further evidence in favor of the multifiber structure of the AV node in patien ts with AV reentrant junctional tachycardia.
