Abstract Patients with recurrent vasovagal syncope with cardioinhibitory or mixed mechanism, or with symptomatic functional sinus bradycardia or AV block can be treated with cardioneuroablation. Material and methods: A case series of 5 patients is presented - four with recurrent syncope and/or symptomatic sinus bradycardia, and one with paroxysmal atrial ï¬ brillation and recurrent syncope. After a conï¬ rmation of the syncope mechanism with tilt table test, and after positive atropine test, radiofrequency catheter cardioneuroablation was performed (this was adjunctive procedure for the patient with atrial ï¬ brillation who received pulmonary vein isolation). During short-term follow-up none of the patients had syncopal recurrence. Conclusion: Catheter neuromodulation provided very good short-term results and lack of serious complications in this ï¬ rst case series in Bulgaria.
