Paradoxical preexcitation following successful ablation of a concealed accessory pathway
نویسندگان
چکیده
Catheter ablation is an established curative treatment for accessory pathways (APs), but in spite of the great progress made in the diagnosis and treatment, there is limited knowledge of the underlying cellular pathophysiology that determines the different clinical presentations. The case presented highlights the complex presentation and properties of some APs that can be encountered at the time of the ablation procedure.

Multiple Arrhythmogenic Substrate for Tachycardia in a Patient with Frequent Palpitations
We report a 26-year-old woman with frequent episodes of palpitation and dizziness. Resting electrocardiography showed no evidence of ventricular preexcitation. During electrophysiologic study, a concealed right posteroseptal accessory pathway was detected and orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia incorporating this pathway as a retrograde limb was reproducibly induced. After succes...

His bundle ablation was performed in a 48 year old man with drug refractory orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Reentry was caused by a left free wall concealed accessory pathway. Interruption of the His bundle by low energy direct current shock (25 J) was quickly followed by anterograde conduction via the accessory pathway, with various forms ...

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...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to prospectively evaluate the effects of radiofrequency ablation in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome by scintigraphic analysis. BACKGROUND The functional changes triggered by radiofrequency current ablation of atrioventricular accessory pathways are not fully known. METHODS Forty-four patients with WPW syndrome were consecutively investigated before an...
متن کاملAdenosine mapping for adenosine-dependent accessory pathway ablation.
BACKGROUND This study describes the use of adenosine during ablation procedures to allow conduction through adenosine-dependent accessory pathways (APs), which are inactive at the time of the procedure. The technique allows for successful mapping and ablation of these pathways. METHODS Retrospective review of all patients undergoing AP ablation from 1998 to 2008 to identify patients with abse...
