The aim of the study was to prospectively compare the characteristics of radiofrequency catheter ablation of AVNRT guided by a magnetic navigation system with the conventional procedure. Methods Patients with AVNRT diagnosed by electrophysiological tests were randomized into two groups. In the conventional technique group (CMT), a common 4-mm-tip quadrapolar temperature-controlled ablation catheter was used. In the magnetic navigation system guidance group (MNS), a magnetic 4-mm-tip quadrapolar temperature-controlled ablation catheter was used. The following parameters were collected and compared between the two groups: ablation procedure time, patient fluoroscopy time, operator fluoroscopy time, energy delivery numbers, maximal energy per deployment, success rate, complication rate and operative cost. Results Forty patients were enrolled and randomized into CMT and MNS groups. The age, gender, tachycardia history and basic cardiovascular diseases of the two groups were comparable (P 〉0.05). All procedures were conducted successfully without complications. No tachycardia recurred during the follow-up period of (9.3±2.6) months. In the MNS group, the patient and operator fluoroscopy times ((11.5±4.3) min, (4.2±1.5) min), energy delivery numbers (3.2_+0.9), and maximal energy per deployment (16.9±3.4) W) were shorter or lower than those of the CMT group ((14.3±6.2) min, (13.6±3.5) min, 6.3±2.1, (23.7±1.3) W, respectively) (P 〈0.05). But the operative cost for the MNS group was higher than that of the CMT group (P 〈0.01 ). Conclusion Magnetic navigation system guided radiofrequency catheter ablation of AVNRT has the advantages of shorter fluoroscopy time and lower energy delivery numbers and maximal energy per deployment compared to the present conventional ablation technique.展开更多
