ABSTRACT

The first case of successful slow pathway modulation is reported in a patient with Ebstein anomaly and recurrent atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia. Typical signals were recorded during electrophysiological study at the slow pathway region between the His bundle and the coronary sinus where ablation was performed successfully. Thus, slow pathway modulation seems to be a safe procedure even in selected patients with Ebstein anomaly.

Keywords: Ebstein anomaly; slow pathway modulation; atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia; supraventricular tachycardia
