Abstract

In a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and a right inferoseptal accessory pathway who had had a previously unsuccessful surgical attempt at accessory pathway ablation, the accessory pathway was found to be adjacent to a branch of the coronary sinus. Radiofrequency energy was delivered within this branch to ablate the pathway successfully. This demonstrates an alternative approach to the more common method of radiofrequency ablation of accessory pathways from a tricuspid or mitral annular location.
