Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction (AVJ) was performed by the retrograde route in a 19‐year‐old woman with atrial fibrillation and single ventricle following the bidirectional Glenn procedure. Two energy applications resulted in complete atrioventricular block and dependence on an epicardial ventricular pacemaker.
