Cryoablation of atypical atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia

Data on ablation for atypical recurrent atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) and long‐term follow‐up are generally sparse. Furthermore, the rate of recurrence and safety of cryoablation for atypical AVNRT has not been established. We compared patients cryoablated for atypical AVNRT and typical AVNRT during long‐term follow‐up.
