Change of the retrograde atrial activation sequence during radiofrequency (RF) ablation of left-side accessory pathway can be due to another accessory pathway, another mechanism for the tachycardia, or due to intraatrial conduction block, partial or complete, caused by RF delivery to a site proximal to the site of ...
Sudden death might complicate the follow-up of symptomatic patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) and might be the first event in patients with asymptomatic WPW. The risk of sudden death is increased in some clinical situations. Generally, the noninvasive studies are unable to predict the risk of sudden death correctly . The electrophysiological study is the best means to detect ...

We report a patient with concealed Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who, following catheter ablation, demonstrated phase-3 and phase-4 retrograde block in a concealed accessory pathway. After an initial 'apparently successful' ablation, retrograde conduction was through the atrioventricular node during constant ventricular pacing. Ventricular extrastimulus ...
Congenital coronary sinus anomalies are unusual and they rarely coexist with accessory atrio-ventricular pathways. These anomalies are generally symptomatic; however they can cause difficulty in mapping. The association between accessory pathway and coronary sinus anomalies may suggest an embryological link. Here, ...

Histopathologically, accessory atrioventricular (AV) pathways comprise tiny strands of working myocardium that traverse the AV groove and link between the atrial and ventricular myocardium. Antegrade and retrograde conduction in bidirectional accessory pathways have generally been considered to occur along the same ...

Endocardial mapping and radiofrequency catheter ablation are well established modalities for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome associated with tachyarrhythmias. However, the electrophysiologic techniques are invasive, require radiation exposure, and lack spatial resolution of cardiac structures. A variety of echocardiographic techniques have been ...
This short communication describes two normal variants of the accessory hemiazygous vein in a 15-year-old female. The article demonstrates that knowledge of the aberrant venous anatomy and the collateral pathway is important for the practising radiologist. PMID:21697414
Fatigue phenomenon is transient failure of conduction following a period of repetitive excitation. Fatigue in accessory pathways is uncommon, and its electrophysiologic characteristics and clinical implications are unknown. Among the 215 patients who underwent electrophysiology studies from July 1992 to December 1993, 4 (2%) were found to exhibit fatigue ...
The purpose of this study was to determine if the electrophysiologic properties and the anatomic location of manifest accessory pathways affect the local electrogram intervals recorded at sites of successful radiofrequency ablation. Accessory pathways in 149 consecutive patients were categorized according to their ...
Transvenous catheter ablation techniques have recently been used successfully in blocking posteroseptal accessory pathways in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPWS). We report the case of a patient in the People's Republic of China who had WPWS and posteroseptal and right anterolateral accessory ...
Ventricular preexcitation caused by right-sided accessory pathways can lead to abnormal septal motion patterns and may be associated with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure, despite the lack of a clinical arrhythmia. Hence successful ablation of the accessory pathway abolishes not only ...
In two patients with recurrent immune thrombocytopenia, accessory splenic tissue was demonstrated by radionuclide imaging following administration of indium 111-labeled autologous platelets. In one of these patients, no accessory splenic tissue was seen on images obtained with technetium 99m sulfur colloid. This new technique provides a simple means for ...

A 16-year-old female patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and supraventricular tachycardia underwent radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of an accessory pathway in the left lateral area. During RF ablation she developed reversible ST segment elevation secondary to coronary artery spasm. Coronary angiography demonstrated the ablation catheter in ...
We present a case of WPW syndrome with an accessory pathway in the right free wall. Two prolonged and failed attempts at radiofrequency catheter ablation of this accessory pathway in other institutions led to a third attempt in our hospital. With a 7F catheter in the right coronary artery, transient ischemia in the ...
