Case Report (n=1)
This case report provides the first documented evidence of multiple accessory pathways coexisting with a persistent left superior vena cava, which were successfully treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation.
Uemura et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with multiple accessory pathways and persistent left superior vena cava (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Elimination of accessory pathways and symptoms. Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully eliminated three accessory pathways in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava, with no symptom recurrence over 12 months.
