Thirteen patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome were ablated with radiofrequency current. The thirteen septal atrioventricular accessory pathways in these patients included 4 right anteroseptal, 4 right posteroseptal and 5 left posteroseptal. For patients with right anteroseptal and posteroseptal accessory pathways, a large-tip ablation catheter was advanced via right femoral vein to an area just above the His bundle and around the coronary sinus ostium. For patients with left posteroseptal accessory pathways. An ablation catheter was placed at the left ventricular side of mitral annulus. All of the accessory pathways were abolished successfully. The average current applications was 14 and mean accumulated energy was 18,900 joules. The mean procedure period is 2.3 hours. There were no severe complications and there was no recurrence after 6 months of follow-up. It is shown that radiofrequency current ablation of septal accessory pathways in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a safe and effective modality of treatment.

D001283 Atrioventricular Node A small nodular mass of specialized muscle fibers located in the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus. It gives rise to the atrioventricular bundle of the conduction system of the heart.

D014927 Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome A form of ventricular pre-excitation characterized by a short PR interval and a long QRS interval with a delta wave. In this syndrome, atrial impulses are abnormally conducted to the HEART VENTRICLES via an ACCESSORY CONDUCTING PATHWAY that is located between the wall of the right or left atria and the ventricles, also known as a BUNDLE OF KENT. The inherited form can be caused by mutation of PRKAG2 gene encoding a gamma-2 regulatory subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
