Abstract
|
|
|
From October 1993 to February 1996, 9 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome underwent surgical ablation of the accessory atrioventricular conduction pathways. The indications for surgical ablation were radiofrequency ablation failure in 6
cases,
multiple accessory pathways in l case, catheter tip fracture during catheter ablation in 1 case and additional procedure(redo mitral valve replacement due to valve thrombosis)in 1 case. There was no operative mortality. The postoperative
complications
were noted in 2 cases-pericardial effusion and woung infection. All patients had accessory atrioventricular connections ablated which were proven by surface ECG and follow-up electrophysiologic study and have remained free of symptomatic
tachycardia.
The indications for surgical treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are radiofrequency ablation failure, multiple pathways, or when additional procedures are require. The present results were satisfactory.
