[Radiofrequency catheter ablation of two accessory pathways in patients with WPW Syndrome].
In 10-30% patients with WPW syndrome more than one accessory pathway in electrophysiology study is observed. These patients make a group of higher atrial fibrillation and coming next ventricle fibrillation risk. We present the 39 years old patient with symptomatic WPW syndrome, without preexcitation signs in ECG at rest. In medical history--palpitations was observed from childhood with one episode of atrial fibrillation with high ventricle response required cardioversion. Electrophysiology study: without preexcitation signs at rest, two ortodromic AV reentrant tachycardias were induced--200 and 166/min. Two accessory pathways were diagnosed, left lateral and left midseptal. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of both accessory pathways was made during tachycardia, first lateral, next septal. In six month follow-up the patient was asymptomatic.
