Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation – ‘pace and ablate’ – may be considered for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) for whom rhythm control has been unsuccessful. Conduction-system pacing mitigates PICM, so we expect a greater uptake of AVN ablation going forward.
