Radiofrequency ablation of a concealed right anterior accessory pathway associated with right atrial diverticulum in a child

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2005 Jan;28(1):72-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2005.09295.x.

Abstract

A 9-year-old boy had refractory supraventricular tachycardia and a right atrial (RA) diverticulum as diagnosed by ultrafast computed tomography. An electrophysiological study under transesophageal echocardiography guidance revealed a concealed right anterior accessory pathway passing through the body of the RA diverticulum. Radiofrequency ablation was performed to eliminate retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction.
