Results:
The study included 110 procedures performed in 109 patients. Adenosine
administration at 10 minutes showed positive result in 3 cases (2.7%),
negative result in 99 cases (90%) and indeterminate result in 8 cases
(7.3%). Reconnection of accessory pathway at 30 minutes post ablation
was seen in 8 cases (7.3%). Of these 8 cases, 10minutes adenosine
administration showed positive test in 3 patients and negative test in 5
patients. Adenosine test at 10 minutes has a sensitivity, specificity,
positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 37.5%,
100%, 100% and 94.9% in identifying the recurrence of accessory
pathway conduction at 30 minutes, respectively.
