[Double supraventricular tachycardia and its surgical treatment].
A case history is presented of a patient in whom a left-free-wall accessory pathway was surgically ablated to treat symptomatic Wolff--Parkinson--White syndrome. Subsequently, AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia became manifest. The patients's AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia was interrupted by Cox's discrete cryosurgical procedure. As a result of analysis of these cases of dual substrates for reentrant supraventricular tachycardia, ECG and electrophysiological means for differential diagnosis has been developed. These are discussed herein.
