Reversible Damage of the Atrioventricular Node during Cryoablation of a para-Hissian Pathway in a Child with Intermittent Pre-excitation Syndrome Damage of the atrioventricular node (AVN) is one of the potential complications in radiofrequency ablation of para- Hissian accessory pathways. Cryotherapy, with reversibility potential at non extreme temperatures, may be an alternative in the ablation of these pathways. A child with intermittent pre-excitation syndrome, para-Hissian accessory pathway and a crisis of supraventricular paroxistic tachycardia was subjected to electrophysiological assessment, and cryoablation allowed removing the accessory pathway with preserved AVN integrity.
