title: Radiofrequency catheter ablation for a patient with Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome associated with sustained atrial tachycardia.
abstract: Successful catheter ablation for a patient with both Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and sustained atrial tachycardia has not been reported. We describe a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome associated with sustained atrial tachycardia, in whom an atrioventricular accessory pathway and an intra-atrial reentrant circuit were successfully ablated in a single session. Radiofrequency catheter ablation for the left-sided atrioventricular accessory pathway was performed via the trans-septal approach. Catheter ablation for the atrial tachycardia was achieved in the right atrium where the earliest and fractionated atrial activation was obtained. Catheter ablation for multiple lesions during a single session is feasible.
