Key result
Catheter ablation of the accessory pathway and retrograde slow pathway successfully eliminated the inducibility of all tachycardias in a patient with intermittent WPW syndrome resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case demonstrates that patients with intermittent WPW syndrome can still have a short antegrade refractory period and be at high risk for sudden cardiac death, highlighting the importance of electrophysiological evaluation.
Hypothesis-generating for ablation in intermittent WPW with VF arrest; leaves open confirmation in larger cohorts.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Miyake et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Intermittent WPW syndrome (n=1). Catheter ablation was evaluated on Elimination of tachycardia inducibility. Catheter ablation of the accessory pathway and retrograde slow pathway successfully eliminated the inducibility of all tachycardias in a patient with intermittent WPW syndrome resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation.
