Epicardial mapping in a variant of type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

An electrophysiologic approach to the surgical treatment of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Report of two cases utilizing catheter recording and epicardial mapping techniques.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

Introduction: Tachyarrhythmias in Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, can be a life threatening factor. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in this syndrome, has not been completely acceptable. Efficacy, safety and economy of Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) in western studies, has made it as the treatment of choice. In the present study, efficacy of RFCA in the ablation of accessory pathway...

Disabling Supraventricular Tachycardia of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

A patient with W-P-W syndrome (type A) and disabling supraventricular tachycardia was studied with epicardial mapping prior to surgical interruption of the circus pathway. Analysis of the delta vector and results of the epicardial mapping strongly suggested aberrant pathway located very posteriorly and crossing the atrioventricular sulcus in or adjacent to the interventricular septum. A circus ...

XXII. Intractable paroxysmal tachycardias which proved fatal in type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Paroxysmal tachycardias proved fatal in a middle-aged man with type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Efforts to control his arrhythmias included a surgical incision into the left atrium, based on discovery of early left ventricular activation during epicardial mapping. The incision did not alter any electrocardiographic or clinical feature; at later necropsy examination it was found that the i...
