Slow pathway modification using irrigated, contact\u2010force sensing (ICFS) RFA catheters has been described in case reports, but the outcomes have not been systematically evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Acute procedural outcomes of 200 consecutive patients undergoing slow pathway modification for AVNRT were analyzed. A 3.5\u2010mm ICFS RFA catheter (ThermoCool SmartTouch STSF, Biosense Webster, Inc.) was utilized in 134 patients, and a 4\u2010mm NI RFA catheter (EZ Steer, Biosense Webster, Inc.) was utilized in 66 patients. Electroanatomic maps were retrospectively analyzed in a blinded fashion to determine the proximity of ablation lesions to the His region.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The baseline characteristics of patients in both groups were similar. Total RF time was significantly lower in the ICFS group compared to the NI group (5.53\u2009\u00b1\u20094.6 vs. 6.24\u2009\u00b1\u20094.9\u2009min, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03). Median procedure time was similar in both groups (ICFS, 108.0 (87.5\u2013131.5)\u2009min vs. NI, 100.0 (85.0\u2013125.0)\u2009min; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.2). Ablation was required in closer proximity to the His region in the NI group compared to the ICFS group (14.4\u2009\u00b1\u20095.9 vs. 16.7\u2009\u00b1\u20096.4\u2009mm, respectively, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01). AVNRT was rendered noninducible in all patients, and there was no arrhythmia recurrence during follow\u2010up in both groups.
