Patients with orthotopic heart transplantation may develop a variety of arrhythmias. Successful radiofrequency catheter ablation for tachyarrhythmias from manifest and concealed accessory bypass tracts in transplant patients has been previously reported. We present a patient with orthotopic heart transplantation who developed typical atrioventricular nodal tachycardia, which was successfully treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation.
