Bipolar transseptal RF ablation successfully destroys an epicardial WPW accessory pathway after three failed attempts.
Bipolar transseptal RF ablation can be an effective salvage strategy for refractory epicardial posteroseptal accessory pathways in WPW syndrome.
May offer a salvage option for refractory epicardial posteroseptal pathways in WPW; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
We present a case of a 16-year-old male with WPW syndrome, referred for ablation after being resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Bipolar transseptal RF ablation successfully destroyed rapidly conducting epicardial posteroseptal accessory pathway after three failed attempts of endo- and epicardial ablation.
