We investigated the effectiveness of selective and\/or stepwise RFCA of these areas via right atrium (RA) and\/or left atrium (LA) in the patients with recurrent syncope due to excessive vagal activity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010two patients presenting symptomatic functional bradyarrhythmias, neurally mediated reflex syncope (NMS), symptomatic atrioventricular (AV) block, and symptomatic sinus node dysfunction (SND; number = 8, 7, 7, respectively) were enrolled. The three main paracardiac ganglia were targeted via RA and LA in the patients with NMS and SND. The procedure was performed via RA in the patients with AV block, followed by RFCA of all ganglia via LA, if AV conduction disorder persists. The sites showing fragmented potentials were identified by electrical mapping and verified by high\u2010frequency stimulation and ablated until atrial electrical potential was completely eliminated (&lt;0.1 mV).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patients with NMS and SND were free from new syncopal episode at a mean 12.3 \u00b1 3.4 months and 9.5 \u00b1 3.1 months follow\u2010up, respectively.
