Am. Dubin et al., Reentrant tachycardia using two discrete atrioventricular nodes and a concealed atriofascicular pathway, PEDIAT CARD, 22(5), 2001, pp. 400-402
We describe a case of reentrant supraventricular tachycardia using two disc
rete atrioventricular (AV) nodes in the antegrade direction and a concealed
atrio-fascicular pathway in the retrograde direction in a 21-year-old woma
n with superior-inferior ventricles and ventricular inversion. Using the Ca
rto endocardial mapping system, two discrete AV nodes were identified as we
ll as a separate decremental AV pathway located midway between the two node
s. Ablation of the separate pathway resulted in elimination of inducible ta
chycardia without loss of either AV node.
