Abstract :
Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great
arteries (ccTGA) usually have some specific electrophysiological
features, such as twin AV node and accessory pathway (AP)-related supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (1-3). There is limited number of AP-related case presentations of patients with both ccTGA
and Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome (3, 4).
Some of the posteroseptal pathways are related to coronary
sinus (CS) diverticula, and these pathways are close to the epicardium. Therefore, multiple ablation entries can cause ablation
failure (4, 5). Till date, there has been no report of ccTGA accompanied with WPW syndrome treated by an ablation from inside the
CS diverticula in pediatric patients. Here we present a successful radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the CS diverticula-related manifest
posteroseptal AP in a pediatric patient with ccTGA.
