[Syncope in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome].
We describe a clinical case of a patient with Ebstein's anomaly and syncope in Wolff-Parkinson-White's syndrome. After a radiofrequency ablation of an accessory atrioventricular pathway there was a different arrhythmia of ventricular origin. Although we have some doubts about their clinical relevance, we discuss the complex arrhythmic background, the medical management difficulties and the prognostic issues. There is an evaluation about ablation usefulness in this context regarding future attitudes in relation to other kinds of rhythm disorder.
