Abstract     We present a case of successful cryoablation of the left extension of the atrioventricular (AV) node for treatment of a recurrent atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) without the use of fluoroscopy. Three dimensional (3D) electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) were used to navigate catheters in the heart and position them according to anatomical landmarks. Due to the nature of cryoablation lesion formation, lesions were able to be applied safely in right atrium, as well as in left atrium, without damaging AV node or bundle of His.
