Radiofrequency catheter ablation of an accessory pathway in dextrocardia

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 1997 Sep;20(9 Pt 1):2284-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.1997.tb04252.x.

Abstract

A 60-year-old woman with situs inversus and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias utilizing an AV accessory pathway underwent successful, uncomplicated RF ablation. Using biplane fluoroscopy, accessory pathway catheter ablation in dextrocardia is as safe, easy, and useful as that for normal heart structure cases, and does not require a lengthy procedure.
