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...
متن کاملShould catheter ablation be performed in asymptomatic patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome? When to perform catheter ablation in asymptomatic patients with a Wolff-Parkinson-White electrocardiogram.
Background Epidemiological data indicate that 0.1% to 0.3% of the general population have ECG findings suggesting that during sinus rhythm, in addition to AV conduction over the AV node His pathway, there is also AV conduction over an accessory AV pathway (AP).4 This means that each year 4 new cases are found in a population of 100 000. It is also known that there is a 4-fold increase of this f...
متن کاملEffect of radiofrequency catheter ablation on Doppler echocardiographic parameters in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
The aim of this study was to compare the conventional Doppler echocardiographic parameters before and after accessory pathway ablation in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Thirty patients (19 males, 11 females) aged 35.5 +/- 14.4 years were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Echocardiograhic examination was perform...
متن کاملSuccessful Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Within the Neck of a Coronary Sinus Diverticulum
Posteroseptal accessory pathways are often associated with coronary sinus diverticula. These diverticula contain myocardial coats which serve as a bypass tract. We report a 54-year-old woman who underwent radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. The surface electrocardiography (ECG) demonstrated pre-excitation, indicating a posteroseptal accessory pathway....
متن کاملwith Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
Forty-nine patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ages 7 weeks to 51 years, were studied with isopotential body surface maps during normal sinus rhythm, atrial pacing or induced atrial fibrillation. The location of the accessory pathway was determined by multicather electrophysiologic study or surgical ablation of the accessory pathway. When fusion was minimized and ventricular activatio...
