Accessory atrioventricular pathways refractory to catheter ablation: role of percutaneous epicardial approach.
BACKGROUND Epicardial mapping and ablation of accessory pathways through a subxiphoid approach can be an alternative when endocardial or epicardial transvenous mapping has failed. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed acute and long-term follow-up of 21 patients (14 males) referred for percutaneous epicardial accessory pathway ablation. There was a median of 2 previous failed procedures. All patien...
متن کاملRadiofrequency 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...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways in infants.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the indications, results and complications of radiofrequency catheter ablation in small infants with supraventricular tachycardia due to an accessory atrioventricular pathway. METHODS Five infants less than 9 months old underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways. Ablation was done for medically refractory tachyarrhythmia associated with aborted sudd...

Background: This study assessed the efficacy and safety of techniques used to ablate left-sided accessory atrioventricular pathways at atrial insertion sites by retrograde aortic approach. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of left-sided accessory pathways by way of retrograde aortic approach can be highly successful. Methods: This study were done in the department of Cardiology, National Institu...
