Tachycardiac storm in infant with WPW syndrome: "rescue" radiofrequency ablation.
A two-month-old child having WPW syndrome and orthodromic tachycardia was on treatment with digoxin, flecainide and amiodarone. Despite this, he continued to have severe, very frequent episodes of tachycardia. The left-sided accessory pathway was hence ablated via a patent foramen ovale.
