Abstrakt: A 23-year-old-female patient had undergone a very successful gastric banding surgery to treat obesity. Six months later she began to present recurrent syncope due to very frequent, intermittent high-degree AV block referred to as pacemaker implantation. The electrophysiological study showed impaired AV nodal conduction but the His-Purkinje conduction was preserved. Partial catheter radiofrequency ablation of the cardiac autonomic nervous system guided by spectral endocardial mapping ( cardioneuroablation) was performed. The electrophysiological parameters were normalized. Holter recordings were normal and the patient was asymptomatic with normal life without pacemaker implantation in a follow-up 21 months later.
