Radiofrequency ablation of accessory connections may cause delayed interruption of anomalous conduction, which is unlikely to occur after the first week following an unsuccessful attempt.
Delayed interruption of accessory pathway conduction after an initially unsuccessful radiofrequency ablation attempt typically occurs within the first week.
May support delaying reattempt up to 1 week after failed ablation; single case leaves open broader applicability.
This article summarizes delayed interruption in anomalous conduction through accessory connections following radiofrequency ablation attempts in three patients. The time course of the delayed interruption in accessory connection conduction suggests that such an effect is unlikely to occur after the first week following unsuccessful radiofrequency ablation.
