Strengths and Limitations:
This was a prospective interventional study. This study determined the
predictive accuracy of adenosine administered 10 minutes after ablation
to identify recurrence of pathway conduction at 30 minutes. The
electrophysiological characteristics of the accessory pathway in the
study population are like that of published data.
Adenosine was not administered prior to ablation to look for any
adenosine-sensitive AP conduction. Early recurrence was diagnosed based
on conduction at 30 minutes and an ECG taken 24 hours after the
procedure. 24-hour continuous ECG monitoring was not done.
