Endocardial autonomic denervation of the left atrium to treat recurrent micturition syncope
Micturition syncope (MS) is one type of neurally mediated syncope.1 MS has been reported as classically occurring in the healthy men after sleep or recumbency, and alcohol intake may be a predisposing factor.2,3 MS is a clinical disease affecting quality of life and increasing the risk of physical trauma in patients. Left atrial (LA) vagal denervation via the radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation targeting the left ganglionated plexi (GP) were showed to be effective in patients with refractory vasovagal syncope.
