Twelve patients with an accessory pathway and recurrent symptomatic reciprocating tachycardia or atrial fibrillation, or both, underwent attempted transvenous catheter ablation of the accessory pathway. In one patient with a small right coronary artery, the pathway was along the right free wall. In 11 patients, the pathway was located at or within 15 mm of the coronary sinus os. For these patie...

BACKGROUND We aimed to analyze the results of retrograde aortic radiofrequency catheter ablation of left-sided accessory pathways in children. METHODS Between January 2010 and September 2014, 25 children who underwent left-sided accessory pathway ablation with a retrograde aortic approach were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 11.09±3.71 years. Seventeen pa...

The effect of surgical ablation of atrioventricular accessory pathways on the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was examined and the results of preoperative electrophysiologic testing were studied to determine factors predictive of outcome. Among 50 consecutive surgical cases, 19 patients were identified with a past history of at least one episode ...

The main output pathways from the olfactory lobes (primary olfactory centers) and accessory lobes (higher-order integrative areas) of decapod crustaceans terminate within both of the main neuropil regions of the lateral protocerebrum: the medulla terminalis and the hemiellipsoid body. The present study examines the morphogenesis of the lateral protocerebral neuropils of the lobster, Homarus ame...
