Why the study?
Does successful accessory pathway ablation prevent cardiac arrest recurrences in resuscitated patients with WPW syndrome?
Does successful accessory pathway ablation prevent cardiac arrest recurrences in resuscitated patients with WPW syndrome?
Successful ablation of accessory pathways in resuscitated WPW patients with normal LV function prevents cardiac arrest recurrence, suggesting ICD placement is generally not indicated.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support deferring routine ICD placement after successful ablation in resuscitated WPW with normal LV function; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Antz et al. (2002) studied this question.
