    Abstract:
    Surgery is a recent approach in the treatment of arrhythmias. The first successful surgery of this type was the interruption of the accessory pathway in a patient suffering from the Wolff Parkinson White syndrome. In 25 consecutive patients who underwent surgery, 28 accessory AV pathways were identified with classical endocardial and epicardial mapping. Only three patients experienced recurrence of preexcitation without symptoms; one patient had AV block; and another patient died. In all cases we successfully used either an endocardial or an epicardial approach. The purpose of this paper is to report the Cuban experience with this procedure.
