Catheter Ablation (AVNRT/Accessory Pathway Related)
Transcatheter ablation can be considered when there is symptomatic paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and the diagnosis suggests atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) or atrioventricular accessory pathway-related re-entry. The decision is usually based on the frequency of attacks

How Catheter Ablation (AVNRT/Accessory Pathway Related) is performed
This treatment aims to ablate abnormal conduction pathways or the slow pathway of the atrioventricular node. Typically, under local anesthesia and sedation, electrode catheters are inserted through peripheral blood vessels to complete intracardiac electrophysiological examination and 3D mapping to locate the tachycardia circuit or accessory pathway. Radiofrequency energy is then released to form controlled micro-burns, blocking abnormal conduction; cryoenergy or imaging assistance can be selected if applicable. Postoperative monitoring of heart rhythm, blood pressure, and puncture site is performed to assess whether tachycardia can still be induced. The overall goal is to reduce recurrence. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Considering preoperative evaluation, hospitalization, and postoperative follow-up, it is recommended to stay in China for approximately 7–14 days; if there are underlying diseases or additional examinations are required, the time may be extended, subject to the actual schedule.
