Abstract
Three months after orthotopic cardiac transplantation, a 46-year-old m an developed paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Electrophysiolog ical investigation of the arrhythmia led to the diagnosis of an atriov entricular reentrant tachycardia involving a left lateral concealed ac cessory pathway. When antiarrhythmic drugs failed to suppress the arrh ythmia, radiofrequency catheter ablation of the accessory pathway was performed without complication.
