Brief Summary: In this randomized study two energy sources for the ablation of AV nodal reentry tachycardia are compared The standard technique of radiofrequency energy delivery is compared with the new approach of cryo-energy application
Detailed Description: The ablation of AV nodal reentry tachycardia with radiofrequency RF energy delivering catheters is a standard procedure and in experienced EP laboratories the safety and efficacy of this approach is very high

However the potential complication of higher degree AV conduction block requiring in some instances implantation of a pacemaker is a major drawback of this approach

We want to compare in this randomized study the safety and efficacy of standard RF ablation with the cryo-ablation technique This relatively new technique is thought to offer more safety concerning higher degree AV conduction block
