Abstract

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome causes paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and catheter ablation is the most effective therapy method. We summarized a rare case of WPW syndrome. The patient suffered from WPW syndrome complicated with an atrial septal defect (ASD), persistent left superior vena cava, and absence of inferior vena cava. A hybrid operation was arranged to solve his problem. During the procedure, we did endocardial and epicardial mapping and ablation, respectively. Conduction of the accessory pathway could be temporarily obstructed, but recovered soon later. Considering it was a rare and interesting case worth recording and discussing, we share it with the public.
