Atrial pacing maneuvers can unmask minimal preexcitation, and radiofrequency ablation is effective for treating Mahaim fiber-mediated wide QRS complex tachycardia.
Wide QRS complex tachycardia with a left bundle branch block pattern can be caused by supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction, preexcitation syndrome mediated through a right-sided accessory pathway, and/or ventricular tachycardia. The use of atrial pacing maneuvers can be beneficial for unmasking minimal preexcitation to differentiate between these conditions. Here, we report a case of successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of a Mahaim fiber in a patient with wide QRS complex tachycardia.
