  • Title: Radiofrequency ablation of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in a donor heart after orthotopic heart transplantation.
    Author: Rothman SA, Hsia HH, Bove AA, Jeevanandam V, Miller JM.
    Journal: J Heart Lung Transplant; 1994; 13(5):905-9. PubMed ID: 7803435.
    Abstract:
    Orthotopic heart transplantation was performed in a 65-year-old man with a donor heart with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. An electrophysiologic study performed 7 days after transplantation showed a left-lateral accessory pathway that exhibited only anterograde conduction. Radiofrequency ablation of the bypass tract was successfully performed, and no evidence of recurrence was found at 12 months' follow-up. We suggest that potential donors with known electrophysiologic abnormalities that are amenable to catheter ablation techniques should be considered for orthotopic heart transplantation, thus broadening the potential donor pool.
