[Surgical treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (author's transl)].
This report relates the surgical experience with 75 patients with WPW. The patients' symptoms were either SVT alone or SVT associated with a pathway with a lethal potential. In some, the Kent pathway caused SVT but did not cause cause pre-excitation. In others, multiple pathways were found. Success has been achieved in 35 of the last 36 patients with freewall pathways treated by surgery. Problems still remain with the posterior septal group. The indications for operation have been broadened to include all patients with significant symptoms.
