Abstract

Described herein is a 52-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and noncompaction cardiomyopathy who underwent 4 sternotomies to correct complications of 3 ablation procedures (2 open) for recurring supraventricular tachycardia, mitral valve repair for a damaged mitral valve during the third radiofrequency ablation procedure, and finally orthotopic heart transplantation.
