Letter to Editor: RF ablation of WPW syndrome using Ensite Array balloon mapping and Hansen-Sensei robotic Cool-path catheter

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndromes (WPW) are examples of preexcitation that affects approximately 0.15-0.2% of the general population (2). Of these individuals, 60-70% has no other heart disease, men are affected more often and typically, those affected are young, or healthy individuals. Death from WPW is secondary to the associated arrhythmias or mistreatment of them. RF ablation remains the first line therapy in symptomatic WPW patients. A 22-year-old woman with known preexcitation, WPW was diagnosed at age of 11, had developed 4 episodes of sustained symptomatic palpitations with a pulse up to 190 beats/min., in the past 4 weeks. WPW had been diagnosed in grandfather and aunt. An echocardiography performed in the patient did not demonstrate any abnormalities.
