Abstrakt: There is a paucity of data comparing irrigated to non-irrigated catheters in the ablation of accessory pathways (AP) in adult patients. Retrospective analysis of first-time AP ablations performed at our institution from May 2010 to June 2017. A total of 69 AP ablations were studied; irrigated catheters were used in 78.3% cases. Mean age was 40.9 ± 14.3 years and 56.7% were male. Among APs, 63.8% were left sided and 56.5% were concealed. The total procedure time was 232.0 ± 89.0 min, ablation time was 3.1 ± 5.1 min, and fluoroscopy time was 13.9 ± 15.4 min. The overall acute success rate of ablation was 62/69 (89%). Success rates trended higher with irrigated catheters in both groups and were significant for the population as a whole (94.4% vs. 73.3%, p = 0.04). Analyzing the entire cohort, success rates were significantly higher in ablations using irrigated catheters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
