Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed successfully through the coronary sinus in a 5-year-old patient with a giant diverticulum and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Why the study?
Coronary sinus abnormalities are typically associated with arrhythmia disorders when symptomatic.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Radiofrequency catheter ablation can be successfully performed through the coronary sinus in pediatric patients with giant diverticulum and WPW syndrome refractory to medical therapy.
May support coronary sinus ablation in select refractory pediatric WPW cases; leaves open need for larger prospective studies.
Coronary sinus abnormalities are usually associated with arrhythmia disorders when symptomatic. We report a 5-year-old 14 kg patient with a giant diverticulum of coronary sinus and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Catheter ablation therapy was decided during follow-up due to inadequate response to multidrug therapy. Posteroseptal and left posterolateral accessory pathways were established and radiofrequency ablation was performed successfully through coronary sinus.
