Chaotic atrial tachycardia-related ventricular fibrillation in a 2-month-old baby with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
A 2-month-old baby was resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation attributed to a concurrent chaotic atrial tachycardia with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. He underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of an accessory pathway. Throughout the 4-year follow-up after the procedure, the boy remained free of any drugs, was in sinus rhythm without ventricular pre-excitation and his growth and development were normal.
