This case supports considering percutaneous epicardial ablation for endocardial-refractory right atrial appendage-ventricular pathways; prospective data are needed before broader adoption.
Does percutaneous epicardial radiofrequency ablation successfully treat a right atrial appendage-ventricular accessory pathway after failed endocardial attempts?
Transcutaneous epicardial instrumentation provides a successful alternative for mapping and ablating accessory pathways that fail conventional endocardial approaches.
Lam et al. (2000) studied this question.
