Catheter-based cardioneural ablation safe, effective for recurrent fainting

A novel catheter-based cardioneural ablation procedure reduced symptoms of vasovagal syncope by as much as 80% for patients with symptoms despite medical intervention and behavioral modification who did not desire permanent pacing.
Early published reports of cardioneural ablation have shown promise for the relief of autonomically mediated bradycardia; however, cases are typically performed on a compassionate basis and there is a paucity of data on of multicenter experiences, according to Roderick Tung, MD, FHRS, chief of cardiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Phoenix.
