| Abstract: | This report describes an adolescent with refractory atrial flutter(AF) and atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia whowas cured by Nd: YAG, 1064 nm, laser application. Two impactsof 30 s each (power 30 W and irradiated spot diameter 2.02.5mm), applied via a novel laser catheter system, abolished bothAF and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. The procedure was withoutcomplications or recurrent arrhythmias. |
