Abstract
A woman with recurrent presyncope caused by a functional atrioventricular (AV) block after meals, with limiting symptoms, underwent cardioneuroablation and AV node vagal denervation without pacemaker implantation. Normal AV conduction was recovered with complete abolishment of symptoms. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
