Outcomes assessed included late atrioventricular block, and rhythm control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified a total of 1290 procedures performed on 1256 patients over the 28\u2010year period. Mean patient age at the time of the procedure was 48.5 years (range 13 to 93 years). A total of 1234 patients were followed up, whilst 22 were lost to follow\u2010up. Mean follow up was 12.6 years (range 1 to 29 years). Of this cohort 9 patients subsequently developed atrioventricular block and proceeded to pacemaker implantation, for an incidence of 0.58 per 1000 patient years. Overall long\u2010term rhythm controlled was achieved in 1221 (97%) patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report what we believe to be the largest single centre experience, with the longest follow\u2010up for slow pathway ablation, for AVNRT. We observed a low rate of late atrioventricular block that was not clearly higher than the spontaneous rate of heart block, yet still achieving good rhythm control. We believe our data supports radiofrequency slow pathway modification as effective and safe therapy for atrioventricular nodal re\u2010entrant tachycardia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jce.70278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]],"date-time":"2026-01-30T04:20:37Z","timestamp":1769746837000},"page":"740-745","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Long\u2010Term Follow\u2010Up of Radiofrequency Slow Pathway Ablation for Atrioventricular Nodal Re\u2010Entrant Tachycardia: Late Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Emma","family":"Yaakop","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Browitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Cruickshank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judy","family":"Greenslade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iain","family":"Melton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Daly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Clare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ross","family":"Downey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Garofalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4652-7791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ian","family":"Crozier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology Christchurch Hospital Christchurch New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2025.04.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.97.2.188"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euaa031"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euaa196"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2019.02.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euaa151"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2015.09.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","first-page":"113","article-title":"Endpoints for Successful Slow Pathway Catheter Ablation in Typical and Atypical Atrioventricular Nodal Re\u2010Entrant Tachycardia.
