Catheter ablation of a right atrial appendage to the right ventricle connection in a neonate.
A neonate with incessant supraventricular tachycardia refractory to multiple antiarrhythmic medications was referred to our institution for radiofrequency ablation. An unusual accessory pathway between the right atrial appendage and right ventricle was successfully ablated. This case also emphasizes the congenital origin of such an accessory pathway.
