Key result
The abstract describes the rationale for evaluating a catheter technique in the coronary sinus to ablate left-sided bypass tracts in a canine model, but reports no results.
Why the study?
Does a catheter technique using intracardiac discharges in the coronary sinus effectively ablate left-sided bypass tracts in a canine model?

This preclinical study evaluates the feasibility of using intracardiac discharges via a catheter in the coronary sinus to ablate left-sided bypass tracts.

No results reported in this canine model; leaves open feasibility of coronary sinus ablation for left-sided bypass tracts.
The production of atrioventricular block by intracardiac discharges at up to 300 W-sec delivered through standard electrophysiologic catheters is a safe and effective treatment for some patients with supraventricular tachycardias. We evaluated the possibility that a similar technique using a catheter in the coronary sinus might be useful in ablating left-sided bypass tracts associated with the Wolff-Parkinson- White syndrome.
