Key result
CTI and accessory pathway ablation eliminates arrhythmia inducibility in a WPW patient with Ebstein's anomaly.
Why the study?
Ablation in Ebstein anomaly with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is challenging due to complex anatomy and multiple associated arrhythmias.
Case Report (n=1)
In patients with Ebstein's anomaly and WPW syndrome, detailed electrophysiologic study is necessary to identify and treat multiple concurrent arrhythmias.

Thorough mapping for multiple arrhythmias is essential in Ebstein’s anomaly with WPW; leaves open optimal ablation strategies in complex anatomy.
Ablation in Ebstein’s anomaly with Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome is very challenging due to complex anatomy and multiple arrhythmias associated with it. We expect atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia which is the most common arrhythmia associated with WPW. As appearances can be deceptive, although in our case report, this 22-year-old female had preexcitation, she had typical atrial flutter, preexcited atrial fibrillation in addition to atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia. She needed cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation in addition to accessory pathway ablation to render the aforementioned arrhythmias noninducible. This case affirms the fact that a detailed and meticulous electrophysiologic study is to be done to diagnose all arrhythmias associated with this congenital heart disease.

Suresh et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Ebstein's anomaly with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (n=1). Cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation and accessory pathway ablation was evaluated on Noninducibility of arrhythmias. Cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation and accessory pathway ablation rendered multiple arrhythmias noninducible in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly and WPW syndrome.
