Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a congenital cardiac pre-excitation syndrome that is effectively treated by ablating the accessory pathway. However, accessory pathways located in the posteroseptal region can sometimes be challenging. In this paper, we present the successful ablation of the epicardial posteroseptal accessory pathway through the middle cardiac vein in a 13-year-old girl with a coronary sinus diverticulum and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, after unsuccessful ablation attempts at different locations. If the ablation procedure fails, the possibility of the posteroseptal pathway should be kept in mind, and coronary sinus angiography should be performed. In cases with a coronary sinus diverticulum where ablation is not successful, other coronary sinus structures, for example, the middle cardiac vein should be considered as potential accessory pathways.
沃尔夫-帕金森-怀特综合征是一种先天性心脏预激综合征,可以通过消融旁路来有效治疗。然而,位于后间隔区域的旁路有时可能具有挑战性。在本文中,我们报道了一例 13 岁女孩的成功案例,该女孩患有冠状窦憩室和沃尔夫-帕金森-怀特综合征,曾在不同部位尝试消融失败后,通过心大静脉成功消融心外膜后间隔旁路。如果消融程序失败,应考虑到后间隔旁路的可能性,并进行冠状窦造影。对于冠状窦憩室消融不成功的病例,应考虑其他冠状窦结构,例如心大静脉,作为潜在的旁路。
