However, its long\u2010term effectiveness is in question when compared to radiofrequency ablation.

During cryoablation, a 6\u2010mm\u2010tip cryocatheter was used with temperature set to \u221280\u00b0C. Test lesions were performed at the presumed slow pathway location based on combined anatomic and electrophysiologic approach. If successful, ablation was then continued with triple freeze\u2010thaw cycles (FTC) of 4 minutes each<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>A total of 53 patients (age range: 6.1\u201318.4 years, mean: 13.6 years, median: 13.2 years) underwent slow pathway modification with cryoablation. Acute success was achieved in 51 (96.2%) cases. Transient atrioventricular block was seen in 19 cases. The block occurred during FTC in eight patients (15%). The number of FTC was three in 47 (92.2%) patients. Less than three FTC were given in two patients due to transient heart block and four FTC were given in two patients with suspected catheter movement. Procedure duration was 177 \u00b1 56 minutes; fluoroscopic time was 14 \u00b1 11 minutes. Mean follow\u2010up was 30.7 \u00b1 10 (range 12\u201352, median 31) months.
