Transcatheter electrical shock ablation of a concealed accessory pathway.
Transcatheter electrical shock ablation of a concealed posteroseptal accessory pathway was performed on a 57-year-old man with drug-refractory paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. A single 300-joules shock delivered at the ostium of the coronary sinus abolished conduction in the accessory pathway and resulted in long-term cure of the arrhythmia. No complications were observed during the procedure.
