... His pacing has the potential to contribute to a revival of the ‘ablate-and-pace’ concept for incurable atrial fibrillation by restoring physiological ventricular activation, thereby overcoming the particular drawbacks of continuous ventricular pacing. Atrioventricular junction ablation simultaneously...

...) plus pacing therapy—‘ablate and pace’ (A&P)—and electrical isolation of pulmonary veins (PVI) are effective non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies in patients with medically refractory atrial fibrillation (AF). A&P is a palliative therapy which improves important cardiac symptoms, quality...

...) ablation of the atrioventricular (AV) node and pacemaker (PM) implantation (ablate and pace) is a valid therapeutic approach, especially in elderly patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the PM dependence and the incidence of correlated clinical phenomena in a patients population with AV block...

... perceived as a potentially harmful therapy that should be avoided as much as possible because it causes pacemaker dependency. However, no studies on conventional ablate and pace therapy have reported significant complications during the follow-up. Furthermore, the aforementioned benefits of AVJA...
