Abstract | Neurocardiogenic syncope is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness and considerably reduces quality of life. Pharmacological and pacing therapy may not be fully efficacious and complications related to implanted hardware must be considered. In this context, cardioneuroablation (CNA) has been proposed to attenuate the vagal reflex with elimination of cardioinhibition. It has been shown that CNA is able to eliminate recurrences of syncope in over 90% of cases and no major complications are reported in the current literature. Despite these encouraging findings, CNA is only mentioned in current guidelines as a possible alternative treatment and has no real indication class. The diversity of mapping techniques, the absence of direct denervation control, the lack of a precise endpoint, the possible placebo effect, the short follow-up, and the question of the learning curve represent the major limitations of this promising procedure. The aim of this review was to look over the existing literature, analysing the novelties, the limitations, the unresolved issues and the outcome of CNA. |
