An increase in early-late recurrences after cryoablation is reported as an important disadvantage. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to compare the acute procedural success and the long-term recurrence rates of patients, with AVNRT who underwent methods. METHODS: 73 patients with AVNRT were included in the study: 32 with cryoablation and 41 with RF ablation. There was no statistically significant difference between acute procedural success in methods. The ablation procedure was performed by an operator experienced in arrhythmology. The choice of RF or cryoablation was made in the electrophysiology laboratory based on the material already available during the procedure. After the procedure, the patients were evaluated every 3 months for 2 years in polyclinic control. The significance level adopted in the statistical analysis was 5%. RESULTS: The 2 groups of patients were homogeneous.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdultAgedCatheter AblationCryosurgeryFemaleFluoroscopyHumansMaleMiddle AgedRecurrenceStatistics, NonparametricTachycardia, Atrioventricular Nodal ReentryTime FactorsTreatment OutcomeYoung Adultadultagedatrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardiacatheter ablationcomparative studycryosurgeryfemalefluoroscopyhumanmalemiddle agednonparametric testpathophysiologyproceduresrecurrent diseasesurgerytime factortreatment outcomeyoung adultArticle10.36660/abc.202306042-s2.0-85205447062
