Abstract
We describe a 54-year-old man with heterotopic heart transplantation, who had severe exertional angina and dyspnea related to native heart i schemic disease. Because of drug resistant atrial fibrillation and atr ial putter of the native heart with fast ventricular response (130 bea ts/min), right-sided radiofrequency ablation of the His bundle was und ertaken, followed by permanent pacemaker linkage of donor and native h earts. The procedure was successful and uneventful. Remarkable relief of symptoms was achieved.
