Fasciculoventricular accessory pathway: a misleading and unusual bypass tract.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the case of a 25 year-old man referred for an electrophysiological study due to suspected pre-excitation as the cause of two recent syncopal episodes. The admission electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a borderline PR interval of 120 ms and apparently small delta waves visible in leads V2-V4. Intracardiac recordings showed a short HV interval of 18 ms that was stable despite decremental atrioventricular conduction. A fasciculoventricular accessory pathway was diagnosed. Administration of ajmaline normalized ECG and HV interval. We discuss electrocardiographical features of this rare bypass tract.

Catheter ablation of an unusual decremental accessory pathway in the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve mimicking outflow tract ventricular tachycardia.
The anatomic location of atrioventricular (AV) bypass tracts (or accessory pathways) is variable, but these generally traverse the tricuspid or mitral annulus and insert into the atrium and ventricle near the AV ring. There is only 1 case report of an accessory pathway ablated in the left coronary cusp (LCC), and this pathway had bidirectional conduction, was not decremental, and was associated...
متن کاملIdentical twins with differing forms of ventricular pre-excitation.
Identical 10-year-old twins, both with electrocardiograms showing a short PR interval and a normal QRS complex but with dramatically different electrophysiological characteristics, are described. One twin experienced episodes of rapid palpitation and on one occasion was resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation. An intracardiac electrophysiological study confirmed the presence of an atrioventr...
متن کاملA sailor's dilemma: A case of preexcitation via a fasciculoventricular pathway
Introduction A history of ventricular preexcitation conditions is disqualifying from service in the United States Navy. Between 0.1% and 0.3% of the population have elements of electrocardiographic preexcitation, with these conditions being managed based on the presence or absence of symptoms. A diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is established when patients with electrocardiographic p...
متن کاملAccurate evaluation of para-Hisian pacing in a patient with fasciculoventricular bypass.
A 20-year-old man with palpitations was examined for ventricular pre-excitation. Atrial extra-stimulation produced AH prolongation without changes in the pre-excitation degree, suggesting fasciculoventricular bypass. Para-Hisian pacing with different stimuli strengths induced various beats, including His-bundle pacing. QRS morphologies of these different responses were similar because the dista...
متن کامل[Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome].
WPW syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease due to an accessory pathway between the atrium and the ventricle. Its ECG pattern is characterized by a short PR interval, a delta wave, a wide QRS complex and an abnormal ventricular repolarisation. Patients are usually asymptomatic, or have frequent paroxysmal episodes of tachycardia. These tachycardias are supraventricular tachycardias related ...
