  • Title: Progressive facilitation of antegrade conduction via an accessory pathway in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and permanent atrial fibrillation.
    Author: Takahashi N, Ooie T, Nakagawa M, Hara M, Saikawa T, Yoshimatsu H.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2005 Dec; 44(12):1264-8. PubMed ID: 16415547.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 64-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported. The patient was admitted due to electrocardiographic feature of AF with rapid conduction over the left-sided accessory pathway. Administration of pirmenol effectively suppressed the ventricular response via an accessory pathway. A transesophageal echocardiography detected an uncertain thrombus in the left atrial appendage. During the 33-month follow-up period, the ventricular response via an accessory pathway was progressively facilitated. Radiofrequency catheter ablation using a transseptal approach was performed during AF, resulting in complete elimination of the antegrade accessory pathway conduction.
