Implication
Supports accessory pathway mapping in WPW; leaves open prospective validation before guiding practice.
Structured PICO
P
Population
1 patient with an atrial septal defect, paroxysmal tachycardia, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (type B)
I
Intervention
Epicardial exploration and injection of procaine into the base of the right ventricle during surgery
O
Outcome
Nature of the excitation anomaly (sequence of activation)surrogate
This early case report provided direct epicardial mapping evidence supporting the presence of an accessory pathway (bundle of Kent) and circus movement tachycardia in WPW syndrome.
