We have described a closed-heart technique for division of atrioventricular (AV) pathways in
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. The technique involves dissection and …

We have previously reported the use of an epicardial approach for ablation of left ventricular
free wall accessory atrioventricular pathways. The technique involves mobilization of the …

The conventional operation for ablation of accessory pathways in Wolff-Parkinson-White
(WPW) syndrome requires an endocardial approach and necessitates cardiopulmonary …

The conventional technique for surgical ablation of posterior septal accessory pathways in
the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome has been associated with a significant incidence of …

Two patients with WPW syndrome underwent surgery to ablate accessory conduction
pathways. Endocardial and epicardial mapping in both patients had indicated an area of …

Abstract From July 1986 to January 1991, 123 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White
syndrome underwent operation for ablation of aberrant conduction pathways. There were 85 …

Epicardial dissection without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was performed in 88
patients (56 males and 32 females, mean age 31.9 years). With intraoperative epicardial …

The conventional operation for ablation of accessory atrioventricular (AV) pathways in the
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome requires an endocardial approach to the AV groove and …

Wolff, Parkinson, and White, in their initial description of the syndrome that bears their
names, emphasized the association of tachycardias with the electrocardiographic …

A new technique for definitive surgical treatment of the preexcitation syndrome without the
use of extracorporeal circulation has been elaborated and clinically used in 25 patients with …
