The results of corrective surgery in 75 consecutive patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome are reported. There were 47 male and 28 female patients with a median age of 27 years. Intraoperative mapping disclosed 88 accessory pathways, of which 83 were successfully divided at the primary operation without mortality. Two patients underwent successful reoperation at three days and two years respectively. Patient success rates were 93% and 96% for first and total operations. Complications, usually minor, occurred in 20 patients, including permanent pacemaker implantation in two. Surgical correction of WPW syndrome is recommended as a safe alternative to lifelong medical treatment.
