Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation was effective for accessory pathways in adult Ebstein's anomaly, with 100% of patients remaining free from tachycardias over 11.9 ± 6.8 months of follow-up.

Supports ablation for accessory pathways in adult Ebstein's anomaly; leaves open need for larger prospective validation of durability.
Observational (n=17)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly effective for treating accessory pathways in adult patients with Ebstein's anomaly, who frequently present with multiple, right-sided, and broad pathways.
Wei et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Adult Ebstein's anomaly with accessory pathways (n=17). Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) was evaluated on Freedom from tachycardias. Radiofrequency catheter ablation was effective for accessory pathways in adult Ebstein's anomaly, with 100% of patients remaining free from tachycardias over 11.9 ± 6.8 months of follow-up.
